title: H-Y transplantation antigen in human XO females.
abstract: When sensitized with human cultured fibroblasts of the XY and XO, but not XX, sex chromosomal types C57BL/6 female mice reject syngeneic male grafts accelerated (second set graft reaction). These findings demonstrate that the antigenic determinants of H-Y antigen of man and mouse are homologous and that XO females (at least those tested) carry the H-Y transplantation antigen. The results are discussed in the light of the question of differences between the H-Y antigen as defined by grafting and serology and the chromosomal localization of the H-Y structural gene(s).
