| abstractText | The Mls locus was originally defined to have four alleles; all controlled products that were detectable in MLR except b, which was described as being null. More recent evidence led other investigators to postulate that the Mls locus is nonpolymorphic, being composed of only the b null allele and a singly expressed allele previously ascribed to be the a and d alleles. Our results indicate that Mlsa and Mlsd control products that are antigenically distinct and, therefore, the products cannot be controlled by the same allele. In addition, the product of Mlsb was easily detectable by Mlsa and Mlsd responding cells and cannot be considered null. Alternative explanations are considered for these conflicting results. |
