Abstract

The inbred strain STS/A exhibits a higher proliferative response in the mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) to stimulator cells of all 11 tested inbred mouse strains with 10 different major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotypes, as well as to stimulation with IL-2 than does the strain BALB/cHeA. However, alloantigen-stimulated BALB/c cells produce more IL-2 than STS/A cells. To study the genetic basis of these differences, we used 20 recombinant congenic strains (RCS) of the CcS/Dem series. Each of these CcS/Dem RC strains contains a different subset of about 12.5% of genes from the STS/A strain and the remaining approximately 87.5% of BALB/c origin genes. As a result the multiple non-linked genes responsible for phenotypic differences between BALB/c and STS/A became separated into different CcS/Dem strains. The strain distribution pattern (SD) of high or low MLC response of individual CcS/Dem strains to stimulator cells of four different strains was almost identical, indicating that differences in responsiveness, rather than the alloantigenic difference itself, determine the magnitude of the response, and that the responsiveness to different alloantigens is largely controlled by the same genes. The SDP of IL-2 stimulation was...Continue Reading
