Abstract A series of congenic mice on the BALB/c genetic background have been employed to localize a teratocarcinoma transplantation rejection locus, Gt-1, to the K side of the H-2 locus on chromosome 17. Previous studies have placed the Gt-1 sv allele about 8 centimorgans away from the H-2 b or H-2 bv1 locus. Teratocarcinomas derived from 129/sv mice, Gt-1 sv (H-2K bv1/H-2D bv1), are rejected by BALB/c (H-2K d/H-2Dd) and BALB-G mice (H-2K d/H2D-b, but form tumors in BALB-B (H-2K b/H2D b) and BALB/5R5 mice (H-2K b/H2D d). In the reciprocal tumor-rejection test, a BALB/c teratocarcinoma was rejected by immunized BALB·B mice, but formed tumors in the immunized isogenic BALB/c mouse. These studies demonstrate the reciprocal expression of two Gt-1 alleles, one Gt-1 c, in BALB/c mice, and the other, Gt-1 sv, in the congenic BALB·B mice. Shedlovsky and co-workers have placed the Gt-1 locus in a similar location on the K side of the H-2 locus on chromosome 17.
