Five wild mice, captured on farms in the Ann Arbor area, were repeatedly back-crossed to strain B10.BR, the wild-derived H-2 chromosomes were selected through the Ss marker, and B10.W (i.e., B10.GAA20, B10.KEA5, B10.KPA42, B10.KPB68, B10.SAA48) lines were produced. Mice of strains C3H or B10.A were immunized with B10.W tissues, and antisera against five wild-derived antigens were prepared. The genetic determinants of these five antigens were shown to be closely linked with the Ss locus and, thus, apparently to be a part of the H-2 system. The antigens were absent in all 26 inbred strains tested. In wild mice, their occurrence was restrieted to the population from which the original wild parents came. It was concluded that the antigens represent new private H-2 specificities to which symbols H-2.101 through H-2.105 were assigned. The corresponding H-2 chromosomes were designated H-8wa through H-2we. Serological analyses with inbred-derived reagents revealed that the new H-2 chromosomes determined, in addition to the antigens of the H-2.100 series, antigens known from inbred strains. However, the antigens shared with the inbred strains were all members of the category of public antigens. Inbred-derived private antigens have not been found in the five B10.W lines. The implications of these findings on the interpretation of the public versus private antigens, the breeding structure of the wild mouse populations, and the assessment of the H-2 polymorphism are discussed.
