Inheritance of a recombinant HL-A haplotype and genetics of the HL-1 region in man

Abstract

THE major histocompatibility system of man, designated HL-1, includes a series of closely linked genes of diverse functions1. HL-1 includes loci controlling two closely linked genes for the segregant series of HL-A antigens, genes responsible for the stimulation in mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR-S) and possibly a genetic determinant (s) important for the induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity responses (HDR)2,3. Recombination between the genes for HL-A and between HL-A and MLR-S has been reported2,3.
