Abstract
The purpose of this work was to elucidate the genetic fine structure of the central portion of mouse chromosome (Chr) 2. Seven Chr 2 congenic mouse strains [B10.PA(L)-pa we un a t, B10.PA(L)-pa A w, B10.PA(L)-we un a t, B10.PA(J)-pa a, B10.FS-we A w, B10.C-we A w, and B10.YBR-a] were produced. Breeding studies were carried out using strains B10.PA(L)-pa we un a t and B10.LP-H-13 b to accurately determine the recombination frequencies between marker genes pa and we (1.9%±0.3), we and un (8.8%±0.5), and un and a t (4.5%±0.4) of strain B10.PA(L)-pa we un a t. These strains and other Chr 2 congenic strains were typed for immunologically defined loci using monoclonal antibody (mAb) C23 reactive with the gene product of B2m b T-lymphocyte clone C1 reactive with the gene product of H-3 a and H-3 c, and lymphocyte clone H1.8 reactive with the gene product of Hd-1 a. B2m and H-3 typing located a recombinational event separating [pa B2m H-3] from we (the order of bracketed genes is not known). Hd-1 typing indicated that Hd-1 maps distal to [H-42, H-44] and proximal to un. The gene order [pa, B2m, H-3], we, [H-42, H-45], Hd-1, un, H-13, a t, with H-44 mapping centromeric to Hd-1, is indicated by the data.
