Abstract

The results of challenging F1 hybrid male mice derived from strains BALB/c, A/J, C57BL/6J, C57BL/10ScSn and DBA/2J with small male ear skin grafts of paternal strain origin indicate thatH-X is highly polymorphic. Thus, with the exception of the B6 and B10 strains which may share oneH-X allele, each of these strains appears to have a different H-X genotype.
