Number of histocompatibility loci in Syrian hamsters.
Syrian hamsters descended from animals captured in the summer of 1971 have been utilized to obtain some estimate of the number of histocompatibility loci in this species. The survival of skin grafts on two F2 populations derived from these animals and two isogenic stocks indicates considerably more histocompatibility loci than previously reported.
