  • Title: Sex and H-2 haplotype control the resistance of CBA-BALB hybrids to the induction of T cell lymphoma by Moloney leukemia virus.
    Author: Storch TG, Chused TM.
    Journal: J Immunol; 1984 Nov; 133(5):2797-800. PubMed ID: 6332861.
    Abstract:
    CBA/N and CBA/CaHN have a significantly longer latent period than other inbred mouse strains between infection with Moloney murine leukemia virus and the appearance of T cell lymphoma. The genetic characteristics of this resistance have been analyzed in the F1 hybrids of CBA/N and CBA/CaHN with BALB H-2 congenic strains. Sexual phenotype and H-2 haplotype significantly influenced survival in the F1 hybrids of CBA/CaHN with BALB. In the F1 with BALB/cJ and BALB/cAnN (both H-2d), the males survived significantly longer than the females; but in the F1 with BALB.K (H-2k) and BALB.B (H-2b), the survival of males and females was the same. Survival was not prolonged by the recessive X-linked immunodeficiency gene xid or other genes on the CBA/N X-chromosome, because the (CBA/N X BALB/c)F1 male and the reciprocal (BALB/c X CBA/N)F1 male, which does not carry the CBA X-chromosome, were equally resistant. H-2 haplotype did not influence survival among the BALB H-2 congenics, and sex had little effect on the resistance of the CBA and BALB parents. These results demonstrate that a sex-dependent gene linked to H-2 significantly influences the expression of CBA genes for lymphoma resistance in the F1 hybrid with BALB.
