Linkage group HL-A-MLC-BF (properdin factor B). The site of the Bf locus at the immunogenetic linkage group on chromosome 6. 1975

Genetic linkage between the HL-A and Bf loci could be confirmed in 43 families with 168 offspring. In 4 families, 5 recombinants out of 82 informative meiotic divisions were observed (r = 6.1%). The localisation of the Bf marker system was studied in 3 families with crossovers between HL-A and MLC. From these data the following map order of human chromosome 6 can be proposed: HL-A (1st locus) -- HL-A (2nd locus)--MLC-Bf---PGM(3). The fact that important components of the classical and alternate pathway of complement activation are governed by genes closely linked with HL-A and MLC loci leads to the proposition to include the Bf system into the Major Histocompatibility Complex in man.

D007959 Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D011414 Properdin A 53-kDa protein that is a positive regulator of the alternate pathway of complement activation (COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION PATHWAY, ALTERNATIVE). It stabilizes the ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY C3 CONVERTASE (C3bBb) and protects it from rapid inactivation, thus facilitating the cascade of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION and the formation of MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX. Individuals with mutation in the PFC gene exhibit properdin deficiency and have a high susceptibility to infections. Complement Factor P,Factor P, Complement
