Inheritance and Properties of the Antigen MuBl and its Relation to Hæmolytic Complement

Nature volume 205, pages 97–98 (1965)Cite this article

Abstract

WE have previously reported the discovery of an antigen, MuB1, which occurs in the sera of certain mice and may be detected by double diffusion in agar of mouse sera against antibody of mouse origin1, the distribution of this antigen, MuB1, among inbred strains of mice1,2 and the occurrence of a related antigen in other mammals. We have also given some evidence indicating that mice which lack the antigen MuB1 do not possess the product of a gene allelic to MuB1 (ref. 2). The present communication deals with the inheritance of this antigen, its connexion with complement and its properties.
