Phenotypes

This locus controls presence or absence of an epidermal antigen inducing CTL in H2 compatible hosts lacking the antigen. Antigen is present in AKR, BALB/c, CBA/J, C3H/Bi, C57BL and DBA; and absent in C3H/He, C3H/An, A/J, A/He, LG and ST/b. This locus also acts like a minor histocompatibility locus.
