An 8th rabbit b allotype (b92) detected by a genetic study.
Genetic study of the progeny of a Spanish wild rabbit has revealed 2 unknown allotypic specificities that behave as encoded by alleles at the b locus. One of these A92 is described in this paper. This specificity is located on immunoglobulin light chains and cross-reacts with anti-b4 and presumably with anti-b9 sera. These data indicate that A92 is a "new" allotype of the b series and is thus designated b92.
