    Notes: Abstract A C57BL/6By 5.5 kb Pvu II polymorphic restriction fragment which hybridizes with a spleen focus-forming env probe and maps in the H-30 region has been cloned, and a 358 by subfragment subcloned. Hybridization and sequencing studies show that the 358 by fragment is encoded by the region of the pol gene of murine retrovirus which codes for an endonuclease critical for viral integration. Hybridizations of digested murine genomic DNAs with the 358 by probe generate 31 restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs); 16 of these can be placed near the following 15 minor histocompatibility (H) loci: H-3, H-4, H-7, H-13, H-15, H-16, H-17, H-19, H-22, H-24, H-27, H-30, H-34, H-36, and H-38. We suggest that the proximity of viral sequences to H loci is probably evolutionarily and functionally significant and that the closeness of viral sequences and minor H loci can probably be utilized to facilitate the cloning of minor H genes. During the course of these studies, it has become possible to tentatively assign H-17, H-34, and H-38 to chromosome 12. In addition, it was observed that several H-2 congenic strains retain portions of chromosome 12 from the parental donor strains used in their derivation.

    Notes: Abstract Using a monoclonal antibody raised by fusing spleen cells from A/J mice, immunized with B10.A splenocytes and lymph-node cells, with a BALB/c myeloma, we have described a new surface alloantigen, Ly-21.2. Ly-21.2 is present in varying amounts in all lymphoid tissues, is not detectable in the brain, kidney, lung or erythrocytes, and is found in only trace amounts in the liver. Strain distribution studies showed that Ly-21.2 is present in all strains examined, including B10, except the A strain and segregation analysis of (A/J × 1310) F2 mice showed that Ly-21.2 expression (1) is encoded by one gene and (2) is linked to albinism on chromosome 7. Studies performed on mice developing T-cell leukemia showed that, regardless of the etiologic agent, Ly-21.2 expression increases dramatically in mice with overt leukemia. In addition, preliminary studies suggest that expression of Ly-21.2 is linked to increased susceptibility of mice to Friend-virus-induced erythroleukemia.

    Notes: Abstract H-2-associated immune response gene(s) govern resistance to growth of a spontaneous AKR lymphoma, BW5147. The antigenic specificities recognized by the anti-BW5147 humoral response have been characterized and include: Thy-1, a T -cell differentiation antigen; gp70, a retroviral envelope protein; and several previously uncharacterized proteins, including a 78 000 molecular mass protein, p78, which is restricted to expression on BW5147 cells and five phosphoproteins with molecular masses of 33 000, 29 000, 23 000, 17 000, and 16 000. Only mice which are able to respond to Thy-1, p78, and the phosphoproteins can survive an inoculation of BW5147. Thus, resistance to BW5147 is complex and involves multiple antigens with possible roles in tumor rejection.

    Notes: Abstract A region of the TL b locus encompassing T11 to T13 contains retroviral sequences TLev1 and TLev2. As part of a study to determine whether the retroviral elements are involved in the expression of TL genes, the genomic organization of this region was reexamined in greater detail. A result of these investigations is the extension of the H-2 TLb molecular map. Two additional TL genes have been isolated from C57BL/6 mice, T14 and T15. The genomic organization of T9 through T15 is presented. The nucleotide sequence has been determined for exons 4, 5, and 6 of T13. As a result of a C to T conversion, a termination codon is introduced into exon 4, indicating that T13 either encodes a secreted protein or is a pseudogene. T13 was found to be more homologous to the H-2 genes outside the TL region. T14 has been physically disrupted by the integration of TLevl , and the H-2 sequences appear to have diverged greatly. The relationship of the TL regions of the b and c haplotypes has been investigated using numerous low copy probes. The genome of BALB/c (TLc) is shown to lack a counterpart of the T13–T15 b region. Homologous regions exist in the two haplotypes; yet considerable polymorphism is observed. TLb mice do not express TLa on the cell surface of normal thymocytes while TLc mice do; TLa expression is activated in many TO leukemias. The diversity seen in the T13–T15 region may provide insights into the phenotypic expression or regulatory mechanisms of TL expression in these two haplotypes.

    Notes: Abstract Previous work has demonstrated linkage between Ly-6, H-30, and a locus, Ril-1, that affects susceptibility to radiation-induced leukemia. Results of preliminary linkage analyses suggested further that the cluster might be linked to Ly-11 on the proximal portion of mouse chromosome 2. Using molecular probes to examine somatic cell lines and recombinant inbred and congenic strains of mice, we have re-evaluated these linkage relationships. A cloned genomic DNA fragment derived from a retroviral site has been used to define a novel locus, Pol-5, that is tightly linked to both H-30 and Ril-1 as shown by analysis of the B6.C-H-30 c congenic mouse strain. Following the segregation of the Pol-5 mouse-specific DNA fragment in a series of somatic cell hybrids carrying various combinations of mouse chromosomes on a rat or Chinese hamster background mapped Pol-5 to mouse chromosome 15. During the course of these studies, restriction fragment length polymorphisms were defined associated with several loci, including Pol-5, Ly-6, Sis, Ins-3, Krt-1, Int-1, and Gdc-1. Three of these loci, Sis, Int-1, and Gdc-1, have been previously mapped to chromosome 15 by others using somatic cell hybrids or isoenzyme analyses. Following the inheritance of these eight loci in recombinant inbred strains of mice allowed the definition of a linkage group on the chromosome with the order Ly-6-Ril-1--Sis--H-30--Pol-5--Ins-3--Krt-1--Int-1--Gdc-1. Analyses of alleles inherited as passengers in B6.C-H-30 c, C3H.B-Ly-6 b, and C57BL/6By-Eh/+ congenic mouse strains and in situ hybridization experiments support the above gene order and indicate further that the cluster is located on distal chromosome 15, with Ly-6 and Sis near Eh.

    Notes: Abstract The biological consequences of radiation leukemia virus (RadLV) infection include the stimulation of H-2Dd antigen expression in resistant mouse strains and thymoma induction in susceptible strains. In an effort to understand the genetic basis of these phenomena, the integrated ecotropic RadLV genome has been examined in a number of primary RadLV-induced tumors, as well as thymomas adapted to in vitro passage; considerable heterogeneity was observed. Examination of these polymorphic viral sequences should help define the viral gene(s) involved in the biological effects of RadLV infection; toward this end, integrated RadLV genomes were molecularly cloned and examined. The genomes and their flanking sequence were characterized by restriction enzyme analysis. Three unique viral genomes were obtained which represent four integration sites. The three RadLV genomes are shown to carry polymorphisms of the original tumor. Following DNA transfection, one of the three genomes replicated in and reinfected both mouse thymocytes and fibroblasts, but not mink fibroblasts in vitro. Virus encoded by the other two DNA genomes could not be recovered following transfection into any of the three cell types. One of these two apparently defective retroviruses encodes a truncated p15E molecule, while the other has elongated long terminal repeats (LTRs). The non-defective ecotropic isolate was collected from in vitro tissue culture supernatants, concentrated, and used to infect mice. Thymocytes of infected, resistant mice were shown to express elevated levels of H-2Dd antigen as early as 12 days post infection, a hallmark of RadLV infection.

    Notes: Abstract A retrovirus element (TLev1) is located within the Thymus leukemia antigen (T7a) locus of the C57BL/10 mouse major histocompatibility complex. Low-copy probes have been isolated from sequences flanking the TLev1 integration site to examine the distribution of TLev1 among inbred mouse strains having genotypically determined variations in TL-antigen expression. It was found that the low-copy probes cross-hybridize to regions within the Tla locus in a genotype-specific manner. Although a strong association was found between TL mouse strains and TLev1, the presence or absence of the TLev1 locus did not exclusively correlate with expression or nonexpression of TL antigens. Analysis of different Mus subspecies indicates that TLev1 integrated into a common ancestor of the species Mus musculus. It is suggested that the loss of the TLev1 locus from certain mouse genomes reflects evolutionary rearrangements in the TL region; the resulting diversity may relate to the differential expression of TL antigens among mouse strains. The probes described here provide a useful tool for examining the genomic expansions and contractions which have occurred during the evolution of the Tla locus

    Notes: Abstract Our laboratory has focused on defining, localizing, and understanding the mode of action of genes involved in fractionated x-irradiation (FXI) leukemia in susceptible and resistant mouse strains. We have described the genetic and molecular evidence suggesting the existence of multiple independent loci involved in FXI-induced leukemogenesis. These studies indicated that one of these, Ril-1, a locus on the distal portion of chromosome 15, is the major locus influencing susceptibility to the disease. Our data unequivocally place Ril-1 in the gene complex Ly-6--Ril-1--Sis--H-30--Pol-5. Ril-1 appears to be closest to Ly-6 and Sis. We report that in FXI-induced leukemias there are hypomethylation changes in the Ly-6 region as compared to normal thymocytes. In contrast, Sis was found to be hypermethylated and not expressed. In addition, we have noted DNA rearrangements in the Ly-6--Pol-5 region in the majority of tumors examined using the Ly-6 and spleen focus-forming virus (SFFLV) molecular probes. Increased expression of Ly-6 and other surface markers encoded in this region has been noted in FXI-induced thymomas.

    Notes: Abstract Steady-state level of liver 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate, cAMP, has been shown to be under genetic control linked to the mouseH-2 complex. Liver cAMP levels are associated withH-2 haplotype in fully segregating crosses of strains C3H and C57BL/10. In crosses involving strain A, other loci have an effect that swamps that ofH-2. Results withH-2 recombinants indicate that liver cAMP levels are affected by more than oneH-2-linked locus.
