Cytotoxic T-cell responses to H-Y: mapping of the Ir genes. 1978

M Hurme, and C M Hetherington, and P R Chandler, and E Simpson

The secondary cytotoxic responses to the male specific antigen (H-Y) in in mice show H-2 restrictions so that cytotoxic female cells must share K and/or D end antigen with the male target cells. The production of cytotoxic cells is under the control of Ir genes, thus offering the possibility of studying the function of Ir genes in H-2-restricted cytotoxic responses. There are two kinds of Ir genes regulating this response; the dominant gene in the H-2b haplotype and complementary genes in other haplotypes. Now we have been able to map the dominant gene and some of the complementary genes: the dominant genes is in IAb, and in H-2k/H-2d complementation, the Ir genes are in ICk and ICd, and in H-2k/H2s and H-2k/H-2q complementations, at least the H-2k gene is in IC.

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

D005802 Genes, MHC Class II Genetic loci in the vertebrate major histocompatibility complex that encode polymorphic products which control the immune response to specific antigens. The genes are found in the HLA-D region in humans and include H-2M, I-A, and I-E loci in mice. Class II Genes,Genes, Class II,Genes, HLA Class II,MHC Class II Genes,Class II Gene,Gene, Class II
D006183 H-2 Antigens The major group of transplantation antigens in the mouse. H2 Antigens,Antigens, H-2,Antigens, H2,H 2 Antigens
D006649 Histocompatibility Antigens A group of antigens that includes both the major and minor histocompatibility antigens. The former are genetically determined by the major histocompatibility complex. They determine tissue type for transplantation and cause allograft rejections. The latter are systems of allelic alloantigens that can cause weak transplant rejection.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
