Comparative gene mapping analysis in mammals suggests that the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes map syntenic with genes, such as glyoxylase 1 (GLO1). In man, the MHC locus and other genes of this syntenic group map to chromosome band 6p21.3, and in mouse, these genes map to chromosome 17. In the hamster, however, only the GLO1 gene has been localized; GLO1 maps to chromosome 1, suggesting that the genes within the MHC locus also map to this chromosome. We have localized the hamster MHC class I genes to chromosome band 1q17-->q18 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). These results suggest that GLO1 and other syntenic genes also lie within this chromosome region.

D008285 Major Histocompatibility Complex The genetic region which contains the loci of genes which determine the structure of the serologically defined (SD) and lymphocyte-defined (LD) TRANSPLANTATION ANTIGENS, genes which control the structure of the IMMUNE RESPONSE-ASSOCIATED ANTIGENS, HUMAN; the IMMUNE RESPONSE GENES which control the ability of an animal to respond immunologically to antigenic stimuli, and genes which determine the structure and/or level of the first four components of complement.

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.

D017404 In Situ Hybridization, Fluorescence A type of IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION in which target sequences are stained with fluorescent dye so their location and size can be determined using fluorescence microscopy. This staining is sufficiently distinct that the hybridization signal can be seen both in metaphase spreads and in interphase nuclei.
