The reactions of mouse monoclonal HLA-A-, -B-, -C-specific antibodies on cells from 50 spp. were analyzed by binding assay. Antibodies which are monomorphic in humans generally show monomorphic behavior in other species and many significant cross-reactions were seen. Antibodies which recognize highly specific polymorphic determinants gave few cross-reactions with other species. Antibodies which recognize broad polymorphic determinants in humans cross-reacted in a polymorphic manner with many other species. The patterns of cross-reaction for both monomorphic and broadly polymorphic determinants correlated roughly with the current picture of phylogenetic relationships. There are 2 fundamentally different classes of polymorphic determinants, one which appears relatively conserved in evolution and one which is the product of recent change. They probably correlate with the public and private antigens of mouse H-2 antigens. A simple genetic model of HLA-A, -B, -C genes, whereby all specificities at a locus are true alleles, is sufficient to explain these patterns of cross-reaction. Cross-reactions previously seen with alloantisera were probably due to broadly polymorphic antibodies rather than to allele-specific antibodies. If this were the case, then no experimental basis for Bodmer''s model of MHC [major histocompatibility complex] polymorphism being due to control of expression of a tandem array of genes exists.
