Transplantation tolerance induced by the inoculation of allogeneic hematopoietic cells into neonatal mice was first achieved approximately thirty years ago.', With this singular achievement, experimental verification was claimed for the clonal selection hypothesis as formulated by F. M. B~ rnet.~ Over the next several decades, a conceptual paradigm concerning the mechanism of self/non-self discrimination came to dominate immunological thinking. While numerous other models of immunological tolerance and specific unresponsiveness have emerged subsequently, the discipline continues to return to the classical model as the standard by which contemporary ideas are judged. At present, numerous laboratories around the world are engaged in a renaissance of experimentation with neonatal transplantation tolerance and an exciting new set of observations has emergeda4 We have joined this pursuit, but have restricted the scope of our approaches to immunogenetic considerations. That is, by employing a wide assortment of genetically defined H-2 recombinant and congenic mouse strains, we have explored the immunogenetic basis of tolerance produced by administering semiallogeneic spleen and bone marrow cells intravenously to neonatal recipients. By selecting strain combinations disparate at one or more regions of the H-2 complex, we hoped to compare and contrast the type and degree of tolerance thus achieved. Our initial experiments confirmed the validity of this approach by revealing the following important findings.(1) While transplantation tolerance can be induced in neonatal mice to any and all alloantigens encoded by H-2 genes, not all determinants are equally tolerogenic. Class I1 major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens (Ia) inducc specific tolerance with great facility; class I determinants do so with considerably more difficulty. 5 (2) Class I1 antigens have the further property of improving the tolerogenic potential of class I antigens if the tolerance-conferring inoculum expresses disparities of both types of determinants. Genetic mapping of this effect has been localized to the ZJIE subregions of H-2, a portion of this chromosomal segment that has been suspected in other systems of governing immune suppression. 6 (3) Long-term H-2-tolerant adult mice are capable of rejecting, in a seemingly inappropriate fashion, third party skin allografts expressing a unique array of H-2 determinants subsumed by the aggregate genetic information of the host and the donor of the tolerance-conferring inoculum. These results hint at the possibility that Z region molecules on the graft restrict and direct
