Previous studies of the B6.C-H-2 bm12 (bm12) strain demonstrated the presence of a mutation localized to the I-A subregion of the mouse H-2 major histocompatibility complex. This mutation is responsible for defects in Ir-gene function and in Ia and MLR (mixed lymphocyte resection) determinants. A comparison of the molecular size of the bm12 mutant and the parental B6 Ia-antigen component polypeptides failed to demonstrate any differences in the .alpha. and .beta. polypeptides. Thus, no major structural additions or deletions are present in the Ia .alpha. and .beta. chain polypeptide or carbohydrate structure. A significant decrease in the amount of invariant (31K) polypeptide was consistently observed in the bm12 Ia antigen preparations. Tryptic peptide comparisons of 14C B6 and 3H bm12 .alpha. and .beta. polypeptides demonstrated a limited number of peptide differences in the bm12 .beta. polypeptide but none in the bm12 .alpha. polypeptide. The significance of these biochemical mutations and altered biological phenomena are discussed in relation to a model of the immunological interaction sites on Ia antigens.
