    Notes: The K region of the H-2 major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of mice of H-2Kk haplotype codes for two distinct alloantigens. One of these alloantigens, designated k-common, is expressed by C3HfB/HeN mice (C3Hf). The other alloantigen, designated k-unique, is not expressed by C3Hf mice. The H-2 haplotype of C3Hf mice has been classified as kv1 and the variant antigen distinguishing this strain from mice of H-2Kk haplotype has been designated kv1-unique. Several transplacentally-induced lung tumours of C3Hf mice express the k-unique, rather than the expected kv1-unique, antigen. The immunogenicity of the k-unique antigen on C3Hf-derived lung tumours varies with different tumours. In particular, the capacity of the k-unique antigen to induce radioresistant immunity in C3Hf mice appears to be lost on long term cultured tumour cells even though the tumour remains susceptible to in vivo immune responses directed against the k-unique antigen. Alterations in expression and in immunogenicity of unique H-2-coded antigens may dictate the nature and efficacy of immune surveillance of autochthanous tumours.

    Notes: Spleen cells from C3HfB/HeN mice (H-2kv1) were markedly less susceptible to lysis by monoclonal anti-Kk antibody (Clone 11-4) than spleen cells from C3H/HeN mice (H-2k). Less than 50% of C3HfB/HeN cells were lysed even at the highest antibody concentration tested compared to 70% of C3H/HeN cells. The difference in end point titre of the antibody tested on cells from the two strains was 5-10-fold. Similar differences were not observed using the conventional H-2Kk-typing antiserum (D-23).

    Notes: The adenocarcinoma LT85 was chemically induced in a mouse from a C3Hf colony shown subsequently to be inbred for a gene conversion-like mutation at the H-2K locus, characterized by a clustered four nucleotide substitution in exon 3. The H-2K phenotype of LT85, however, more closely resembles that of C3H rather than the mutant strain now designated C3Hf H-2km2. We cloned and sequenced the H-2K gene from this tumor to determine whether (i) LT85 might carry a tumor-associated somatic reversion of the H-2Kkm2 germline mutation or (ii) the tumor was induced in a mouse that was genetically H-2k rather than H-2km2. Our analysis confirmed that the LT85 H-2K allele is identical throughout the entire coding region to C3H H-2Kk. To exclude the possibility of a somatic reversion by recombination, we used an oligonucleotide probe corresponding to the region altered in H-2k to show that the C3Hf genome lacks the necessary coding information to reverse the H-2Kkm2 mutation through a sequence exchange with another class I locus. Since it is unlikely that multiple independent point mutations would account for restoration of this stretch of H-2Kk sequences, the tumor was probably established in a mouse carrying a normal H-2Kk allele, possibly at a point prior to the establishment of the H-2Kkm2 mutation as a homozygous trait within the C3Hf colony.

    Notes: A transplacentally induced lung tumour of C3HfeB/HeN mouse origin expresses, as a tumour-associated antigen, a normal tissue component of strain A mice. The genetic locus coding for this alloantigen has been shown to be linked to the H-2 major histocompatibility complex. In the present study we demonstrate that this antigen is also expressed on normal tissues of C3H/HeN mice. Skin grafts exchanged between C3HfeB/HeN and C3H/HeN mice are reciprocally rejected at approximately 3 weeks after grafting. C3HfeB/HeN mice were derived from C3H/HeN mice in 1945. These strains have apparently deviated since then in their genetic regulation of the expression of the MHC-linked genetic locus. The finding of the C3H/HeN-associated antigen on a C3HfeB/HeN mouse-derived lung tumour indicates that this deviation is reversible.
