Several inbred strains and a certain percentage of wild mice bear a deletion in the E.alpha. gene of the mouse major histocompatibility complex (H-2). This mutation prevents transcription of the E.alpha. gene and hence functional expression of the E.alpha.E.beta. dimer on the cell surface. Two strains were selected for a more precise localization of this deletion. BALB.B is a congenic line carrying the H-2b haplotype of the BALB/c background. CRO435 is an outbred stock derived from a wild mouse captured near Cairo, Egypt; it carries the H-2w37 haplotype including a null .**GRAPHIC**. allele, as well as semi-lethal mutations in the H-2 linked t complex (tTuw7). From these 2 strains genomic clones were isolated that contain fragments spanning the E.alpha. deletion, and have sequenced the breakpoint region. The deletions in the 2 strains are identical, spanning 627 bp [base pair] which include the promotor region and the signal peptide exon of the E.alpha. gene. Limited sequence comparison suggests that the .**GRAPHIC**. allele of BALB.B is more closely related to the .**GRAPHIC**. allele of CRO435 than both of these are to an E.alpha.-expressor allele, .**GRAPHIC**. The Eo deletions in the various inbred strains and mice are probably of the same origin, and apparently were disseminated throughout the mouse population because of linkage to the t complex.
