Abstract
Using a segregation analysis we have determined that the cross-reactive response to the DBA/2 tumor P815 by CTL from BALB/c mice immunized with a BALB/c plasmacytoma (MOPC-167) is controlled by a single gene. The gene responsible is closely linked to the dilute coat color locus on chromosome 9. In contrast, the cross-reactive response to the DBA/2 tumor L5178Y by DBA/2 anti-MOPC-167 CTL appears to be controlled by two or more genes.
