    Notes: [Auszug] The phenomenon reported here was observed during the selection of a new strain of mice-B10-H-28 H-4bp/Wts7. This 'double congenic' strain differs from the background strain C57BL/10 (H-2b, H-4a) at two segments of its genome; one surrounding the H-2 locus and another surrounding the H-4 locus. When ...

    Notes: Abstract Two new double congenic strains, B10-H-2 a H-7 b /Wts and B10-H-2 d H-7 b /Wts, were selected to differ from B10.A and B10.D2/o, respectively, at theH-7 locus. The survival time ofH-7-incompatible skin grafts is dependent upon theH-2 haplotype of recipient and donor.

    Notes: Abstract The mechanism(s) of rejection or tolerance induction is a competitive, complex process that presumably involves interactions between multiple subpopulations of T lymphocytes. We investigated the roles of CD8+ cytolytic and CD4+ helper T cells in rat strains that tolerate liver allografts and that differ at both the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) (RT1) and minor histocompatibility genes. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) with arterial reconstruction was performed with Brown Norway (BN) (RT1n) donors and Lewis (RT11) recipients, some of which were untreated, others treated with anti-CD8 antibody, and still others treated with anti-CD4 antibody. Liver graft rejection was monitored for 28 days on the basis of two criteria: (1) serum levels of AST enzyme at 3-day intervals and (2) liver biopsies at weekly intervals and at the time of sacrifice at the end of the study period. In the untreated control group, an elevation of AST was found to peak at day 6 after grafting, and it remained elevated until day 28 (AST 542±72 U/l). Histologically, signs of severe rejection were first observed on day 9; these changed to moderate rejection about day 21 and to mild rejection by day 28, when the animals were sacrificed. Recipients pre-treated with anti-CD8 demonstrated a significant elevation of AST within 6 days that, unlike in the control recipients, continued to rise sharply through the observation period (AST 1127±181 U/1, P=0.009 vs control group). Liver biopsies showed mild rejection at day 9 and moderate rejection at days 21 through 28. Recipients pretreated with anti-CD4 showed a time course of enzyme elevation and severity of rejection that was not significantly different from that observed in the control group. However, anti-CD4 treatment resulted in only 75% depletion of CD4+ cells in peripheral blood as compared to complete elimination of CD8+ cells following anti-CD8 treatment. Functional studies of spleen and liver-infiltrating lymphocytes obtained after 28 days showed low proliferative response in mixed lymphocyte culture with both BN and PVG stimulator spleen and lymph node cells. These results suggest that in this donor/recipient combination, removal of CD8+ cells increases the severity of rejection as demonstrated by a progressive rise in AST and histology. Moreover, OLT in this combination results in a profound, nonspecific inhibition of proliferative T-cell responses to MHC alloantigens.

    Notes: Abstract Immune response region-associated (Ia) antigens encoded by genes in theI-A orI-EC subregions have been detected on murine epidermal cells by indirect immunoprecipitation, using antisera produced against murine lymphoid cells. The Ia antigens encoded by genes in these subregions are composed of two polypeptides with approximate molecular weights of 33,000 and 28,000. The Ia antigens are not derived from contaminating B- or T-cell populations. The Ia molecules from lymphocytes and epidermal cells appear to have identical subunit structures and very similar, if not identical, molecular weights. The possible biological role of the Ia antigens on epidermal cells is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Immune response (Ir) genes mapping in theI region of the mouseH-2 complex appear to regulate specifically the presentation of a number of antigens by macrophages to proliferating T cells. We have investigated the possibility that similarIr genes mapping in theH-2K andH-2D regions specifically regulate the presentation of target antigens to cytotoxic effector T cells. We report that the susceptibility of targets expressing specific non-H-2 H alloantigens to lysis by H-2-compatible, H-antigen-specific cytotoxic effector T cells is controlled by polymorphicH-2K/D genes. This control of susceptibility to lysis is accomplished through what we have defined operationally as antigen-specific regulation of non-H-2 H antigen immunogenicity. High immunogenicity of the H-4.2 alloantigen is determined by a gene mapping in theH-2K region ofH-2 b . However, high immunogenicity of H-7.1 is determined by a gene mapping in theH-2D region ofH-2 b . High immunogenicity of the H-3.1 alloantigen is determined by genes mapping in both theH-2K andH-2D regions ofH-2 b . Therefore, genes mapping in theH-2K andH-2D regions serve a function in presenting antigen to cytotoxic effector T cells. This function is analogous to that played byI-regionIr genes expressed in macrophages which present antigen to proliferating T cells. We present arguments for classification of theseH-2K/D genes as a second system ofIr genes and discuss the implications of twoH-2-linkedIr-gene systems, their possible functions, and their evolution.

    Notes: Abstract Limit-dilution cultures were used to select vaccinia-immune T-cell populations from bml and bm3 mutant mice that were not lytic for virus-infected targets expressing the Kb and Db MHC glycoprotein. Approximately 30% of virus-immune CTL were restricted in each case to Kbm1 and Kbm3, rather than to Db. Evidence of extensive cross-reactivity was found for these virus-immune CTL. Bm3 and bmll mice sharing one amino acid mutation from wild-type but differing by a second mutation seen only in bm3 are the most cross-reactive pair in their presentation of vaccinia. The bm1 and bm10 pair with dissimilar mutations from wild-type affecting the same CNBr fragment are also largely cross-reactive. However, 30% cross-reactivity is also found for bm1 and bm3, which differ in separate CNBr fragments. That mutants expressing amino acid substitutions in the same region of the peptide tend to show more evidence of cross-reactivity does not necessarily mean the T cells see linear arrays of amino acids on the MHC glycoprotein. For instance, Kbm1 and Kbm10 differ for three amino acids, but bm1 T cells are highly lytic for bm10 virus-infected targets. However, there is no cross-reactivity for Kbm1 and Kb, which differ at only two amino acids. The key to further understanding may rest with defining the nature of the conformational differences among the Kbm1, Kbm10, and Kb glycoproteins.

    Notes: Abstract This communication reports the DNA level identification of class I and class II sequences associated with 20 RT1 haplotypes which have been assigned previously to eight RT1 groups. Sixteen to 22 bands in genomic blots hybridized with the mouse pH-2III class I cDNA probe. Only the three RT1 khaplotypes associated with identical class I restriction fragment patterns. Differences in restriction bands between putatively identical RT1 haplotypes were either less than or equal to 6%, or greater than 50%, suggesting a relatively high level of recombination between serologically identified RT1.A genes and the majority of class I sequences. Restriction fragment patterns associated with three RT1 uhaplotypes differed by less than 6%. However, intra-RT1 a,intra-RT1 b,and intra-RT1 lrestriction fragment differences were between 50 and 64%. In specific cases, different RT1 haplotypes associated with identical class I restriction patterns, e.g., RT1 m(MNR) and RT1 d(MR); higher resolution confirmed the difference (two bands) between RT1 mand RT1 d.Results of hybridization with the human DC1β probe confirmed that the AVN RT1 aand NSD RT1 bhaplotypes were generated by recombinations within the vicinity of the RT1.B : RT1.D regions. These results demonstrate that a previous classification of RT1 haplotypes was incomplete and did not include the majority of class I and class II sequences which distinguish RT1 haplotypes.

    Notes: Abstract The potential association between integration or deletion of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) retroviral sequences and the appearance of non-H-2 histocompatibility (H) antigen mutations was investigated. Genomic blots from inbred strains carrying 22 loss, gain-loss, and gain mutations on the BALB/c and C57BL/6 backgrounds were hybridized with probes homologous to the long terminal repeat (LTR) and envelope (env) regions of MMTV. Twenty-one mutants were identical in restriction patterns to the respective background strains with all tested restriction enzymes and both probes. However, genomic blots of one gain mutant, B6.C-KH-84, exhibited restriction fragments which were not exhibited by either of the parental strains, C57BL/6 or BALB/c. An additional 5.5 kb Eco RI fragment was observed with the env probe and additional 9.2 kb and 5.5 kb fragments were observed with the LTR probe. These observations were substantiated by hybridization of these two probes with genomic blots generated with additional restriction enzymes. Assuming that the new provirus contains a single, internal Eco RI site as has been observed for other MMTV proviral sequences, it is presumed that the new provirus includes both 5′ and 3′ LTRs in addition to the env region. Based on the unique sizes of the observed restriction fragments relative to other identified MMTV proviral sequences, this provirus has been designated Mtv-22. The potential role of Mtv-22 in the genesis of the gained histocompatibility antigen in B6.C-KH-84 is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Intra-H-2 recombinant congenic strains are widely used to localize traits to specific subregions of the major histocompatibility complex and have provided evidence for the existence of meiotic recombinational hotspots in mammals. Forty-seven intra-H-2 recombinant strains, including 12 not previously reported, have been identified by serological typing in our laboratory. We have extended the analysis of the cross-over sites in these mice using DNA markers for Ab, Aa, Eb, Ea, Cyp21-ps, D17Tu3, Bat7, and Bat5. The recombinant chromosomes of these congenic strains include loci derived from the a, b, f, k, p, q, r, s, u, and v haplotypes of H-2, providing a diverse panel of strains. Although some alleles of Bat7 could not be distinguished from one another, results from the majority of strains indicated a probable gene order of C4Slp/D17Tu3-Bat7-Bat5-H-2D. No recombinants between Cyp21-ps, C4Slp, and D17Tu3 were observed. The crossover sites in 31 of the 47 intra-H-2 recombinants were within the C4Slp/D17Tu3—H-2D interval; of these 31 crossovers, three were bracketed by D17Tu3 and Bat7, ten by Bat7 and Bat5, seven by Bat5 and H-2D, and 11 by D17Tu3 and Bat5. The results from all 47 strains suggest recombinational hotspots within the C4Slp/D17Tu3—H-2D interval and emphasize the influence that specific haplotypes can have on preferred crossover sites.
