    Notes: Abstract We have already developed nine B10.MOL congenic strains carrying H-2 haplotypes derived from Japanese wild mice, Mus musculus molossinus, with the C57BL/10 genetic background. To obtain monoclonal antibodies against the H-2 antigen of the Japanese wild mouse, we carried out cell fusion using spleen cells from the animal immunized with one of the B10.MOL strains, B10.MOL-SGR (H-2 wm7). As a result, 19 hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies were produced. Analysis with the intro-H-2 recombinants derived from B10.MOL-SGR indicated that 8 of them reacted with the class I and II with the class II molecule. The class I antibodies were tested for their cross -reactivities on wild mice and on the panels of standard inbred and B10.MOL strains. Most of the antibodies reacted with both the Japanese wild mice and the other subspecies, including standard inbred, while two antibodies highly specific for the donor H-2K region reacted with only three wild-derived mice, two M. m. molossinus from Anj o and Shizuoka, Japan, and one M. m. domesticus from Pigeon, Canada. In addition, all of the other four antibodies reactive with the K antigen of B10.MOL-SGR also reacted with the same three wild mice. The wild mice belonging to different subspecies might share very similar H-2K antigenic determinants in spite of their genetic and geographical remoteness.

    Notes: Abstract New alleles of murine factor B (Bf) protein were demonstrated. When ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-plasmas from inbred and wild mice were analyzed by isoelectro-focusing (IEF) and immunofixation, murine Bf proteins were visualized as distinct protein bands in all mice tested. Four variants of murine Bf could be demonstrated in a large number of tested mice: Bf 1 (isoelectro-focusing point (P.I.) range of 5.8–6.1) exemplified by B10 and B10.BR, Bf 2 (P.I. range of 5.8–6.0) exemplified by B10.MOL (OHM), Bf 3 (P.I. range of 5.6–5.9) exemplified by B10.MOL (TEN2) and Mus musculus (Mus m.) subspecies Chc, Bf4 (P.I. range of 6.0–6.3) exemplified by Mus m. subspecies Shh. The genetic linkage between S locus and Bf locus was studied with two backcross progenies — [B 10.BR × (B10.BR × Mus m. subspecies Chc)F1] and [B 10.BR × (B10.BR × Mus m. subspecies Shh)F1]. Totally, 256 backcross progenies were typed for Bf type and for Ss type (plasma level of the fourth complement protein regulated by S locus). The results indicated that murine Bf was controlled by a single codominant locus located close to the H-2 complex because no mouse showing recombination between Bf locus and S locus was found.

    Notes: Abstract The polymorphic variation of liver GM1 (NeuGc) ganglioside was found in inbred strains of the mouse. The genetic analysis using C57BL/10 (GM1-negative) and SWR (GM1-positive) mice revealed that a single autosomal gene (Ggm-1) was involved in the expression of liver GM1(NeuGc) and that C57BL/10 mice lacking GM1(NeuGc) expression carried a defective gene on Ggm-1. Since our previous study on H-2 congenic mice indicated that Ggm-1 was linked to the H-2 complex, in this study we measured recombination frequencies among Ggm-1, Go-1 and H-2K in the backcross progeny between (C57BL/10 × SWR)F1 and C57BL/10. Ggm-1 was mapped 1 cM centromeric to H-2K on chromosome 17.

    Notes: Abstract Thewm7 haplotype of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), derived from the Japanese wild mouseMus musculus molossinus, enhances recombination specific to female meiosis in theK/A β interval of the MHC. We have mapped crossover points of fifteen independent recombinants from genetic crosses of thewm7 and laboratory haplotypes. Most of them were confined to a short segment of approximately 1 kilobase (kb) of DNA between theA β3 andA β2 genes, indicating the presence of a female-specific recombinational hotspot. Its location overlaps with a sex-independent hotspot previously identified in theMus musculus castaneus CAS3 haplotype. We have cloned and sequenced DNA fragments surrounding the hotspot from thewm7 haplotype and the corresponding regions from the hotspot-negative B10.A and C57BL/10 strains. There is no significant difference between the sequences of these three strains, or between these and the published sequences of the CAS3 and C57BL/6 strains. However, a comparison of this Aβ3/Aβ2 hotspot with a previously characterized hotspot in theEβ gene revealed that they have a very similar molecular organization. Each hotspot consists of two elements, the consensus sequence of the mouse middle repetitive MT family and the tetrameric repeated sequences, which are separated by 1 kb of DNA.

    Notes: Abstract Complement C2 was isolated from 17 mouse strains by immunoprecipitation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and examined for structural polymorphism by using micro-peptide mapping. By comparing the peptide maps of tryptic digests of C2 from various strains, two allotypic variations were detected. B 10 and 14 other mouse strains demonstrated C2.1 type, while a wild mouse line (M.Mol-Ohm) and one BIO congenic strain, B10.MOL.OHM, which carries the H-2 derived from M.Mol-Ohm, demonstrated C2.2 type. (B10 × Bl0.MOL.OHM)F1 demonstrated codominantly expressed C2 type (C2.1.2). Desialation of mouse C2 did not abolish the observed variation of mouse C2. It is concluded that an H-2-linked codominant locus controls the structure of mouse complement C2, further confirming the extensive homology of the major histocompatibility complex among higher vertebrate species.

    Notes: Abstract The recombination frequency between the H-2K and H-2D marker loci in male mice was measured using heterozygotes that carry the H-2 wm7 haplotype derived from the Japanese wild mouse and common H-2 haplotypes derived from inbred mice. Previous mating experiments in which backcross progeny of heterozygous females were screened demonstrated that the H-2 2m7 displays marked enhancement of recombination within the H-2 complex. In contrast to recombination in female mice, no enhancement of recombination was observed during male meiosis in the present study. Thus, it appeared that enhancement of recombination is specific to female mice. A genealogical study of recombination indicated that the postmeiotic stage is not involved in the generation of sexual preference of enhancement of recombination, suggesting that the preference is meiotic-drive and that a female-specific mechanism is involved in meiotic recombination mediated by the H-2 wm7 haplotype.

    Notes: Abstract Antigenic specificities of complement factor H from mice were studied serologically. In addition to previously reported allotypes, referred to as H.1 and H.2, a new allotype of complement factor H, H.3, was identified in the BFM/2Ms strain derived from European wild mice. Using three different alloantisera raised against the various mouse factor H allotype, a serological survey of the common laboratory strains and wild-derived strains of Mus musculus and its relatives, Mus spretus, Mus spretoides, and Mus spicilegus was carried out. All of the common laboratory strains examined in this survey had the H.1 allotype except for STR/N which had H.2. The geographical distributions of factor H allotypes in M. musculus were specific to the subspecies. Mice derived from Mus musculus domesticus and Mus musculus castaneus had the H.1 allotype. Mice derived from M. m. musculus, Mus musculus bactrianus, and Mus musculus molossinus had the H.2 allotype. Only BFM/2Ms and BFM/1Mpl strains derived from M. m. domesticus had the novel H.3 allotype. Sera of mice from strains derived from M. spretoides and M. spicilegus cross-reacted with H.2-specific antiserum, and those from M. spretus cross-reacted with H.3-specific antiserum.

    Notes: Abstract The sites of meiotic recombination in the proximal region of the mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are clustered at hotspots. Some MHC haplotypes derived from Asian wild mice increase the frequency of recombination at such hotspots when heterozygous with standard laboratory haplotypes. The wm7 and cas3 haplotypes, have a hotspot close to the Lmp-2 gene (Lmp-2 hotspot), and the cas4 haplotype has a hotspot about 100 kilobase (kb) proximal, close to the Pb gene (Pb hotspot). To examine the effect of a double dose of hotspots, we estimated the rate of recombination and determined the location of the breakpoints in crosses of wm7/cas3 and wm7/cas4. In 3570 backcross progeny we identified 29 new recombinants in the H-2K to Ab interval, at a frequency of 0.81%. This frequency is 40-fold higher than in crosses between laboratory haplotypes and very similar to those previously obtained in crosses between these wild and standard laboratory haplotypes. Thus, a double dose of hotspots has no additive effect on the frequency of meiotic recombination. The site-specificity of recombination was also conserved. Twenty-three breakpoints were confined within 5.4 kb in the Lmp-2 hotspot, and six breakpoints from the cas4 cross were located in the Pb hotspot, which we have now confined to a 15 kb segment.
