There are now over fifty serologically defined mouse lymphocyte cell-surface antigens. Of these, more than thirty are polymorphic and have been shown to be controlled by a single genetic locus. These loci have mostly been designated by the symbol Ly-followed by a number assigned more or less in order of discovery of the locus (Table 1). However, there has been no mechanism for orderly assignment of symbols or numbers, with consequent use of a variety of symbols, duplication of numbers, and use of different symbols or numbers for the same locus. The authors recently met at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, to discuss means of overcoming these problems. A preliminary draft of nomenclature hales for the Ly loci was prepared and circulated among colleagues. In this paper we present a revised version of the rules in which we (1) reallocate duplicated Ly numbers,(2) provide a definition of Ly loci, and (3) establish a central Ly nomenclature registry that will be responsible for coordinating the allocation of new Ly numbers. In establishing this nomenclature, we have tried to maintain the status quo and have only reallocated duplicated numbers or renamed loci with grossly misleading names in order to cause minimum alteration of the existing system. Thus, for example, Lna,
