Description:
Male hybrids from a cross between female mice of strain C57BL/6Kh and males of strain DBA/2J lived longer after injection of P815 mastocytoma cells of DBA/2 origin than did their female siblings. Responses to the histocompatibility antigen on the X chromosome of the DBA/2 strain may be involved in resistance to the tumor. When the female parent was replaced with a C57BL/6Kh carrying one of several mutations in the H-2 region, this sex effect disappeared in some of the hybrid combinations. Thus, the H-2 complex appears to be involved in the regulation of the immune response to the X-linked histocompatibility antigen in this tumor model.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kwak, L W -- Kucuk, O -- Melvold, R W -- Williams, R M -- AI-16919/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA-27599/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-27955/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 May 27;220(4600):959-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6405481" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
