Two selective breedings of mice for minimal or maximal agglutinin response to heterologous erythrocytes were carried out (selection I and II). Preliminary reported data indicated that for both selections the heritability was between 0.18 and 0.36 and the number of relevant loci from 7--13. The results reported in this article are definitive since the data of ten to twenty generations at selection limit are available and large populations of interline hybrids F1, F2 and both backcrosses were analysed. The character 'high response' was partially dominant in F1 hybrids of both selections, the degree of this incomplete dominance was 0.27 in selection I and 0.54 in selection II. In selection I, 38% of the F2 variance was due to genetic factors (VG) and 62% to environmental effects (VE). The partition of phenotypic variance of F2 and backcrosses into additive variance (VA) and dominance variance (VD) was made according to three methods and the mean results were: VA = 0.72 and VD = 0.05. The resulting mean heritability was 0.35 and the number of relevant loci about ten. In selection II, 69% of the F2 variance was due to VG and 31% to VE. The three methods of variance calculation give somewhat discordant results. According to the more probable estimation (see discussion) VA = 0.95, the mean heritability was 0.23 and the number of loci, about 6. The results obtained in crosses between homologous lines of the two selections indicate that the two 'high' lines have probably identical homogeneous genetic constitution while the two 'low' lines contain some different 'high' effect loci.
