A new system of lymphocyte alloantigens in mice is described. ThisLna(lymph-node antigen) system is associated with theIrregion of theH-2(histocompatibility-2) gene complex. It has the following distinctive characteristics: (1) The gene or genes controlling these antigens has been mapped in theIr(immune response) region betweenH-2KandSs-Slp. (2) The antigens are most readily detectable on lymph-node cells, although they are also expressed on peripheral blood lymphocytes, splenic lymphocytes, and thymocytes. (3) Cytotoxicity against only about half of lymph-node cells is consistently observed. (4) Cytotoxic antibody titers against these antigens are strikingly high—more than 2000 by51Cr-release and up to 100,000 in the microcytotoxic test. (5) At least two, probably allelic, forms of the antigen(s) have been defined, one associated with theH-2khaplotype and one with theH-2ahaplotype. (6) Antisera againstLnacontain multiple antibody specificities that can be fractionated by absorption either with certain recombinants or with otherH-2halotypes that have crossreactive antigens. The antisera againstLnamay be of value for definition and characterization of the products of theIrandMLR(mixed lymphocyte reaction stimulatory) genes associated with theH-2complex.
