I - Ila - Linked 1 Mmune Suppression Genes

Genetic control of immune response was investigated by family and population analyses in humans. It was first recognized that there are high responders and low or non responders to natural antigens in human population. Family analysis revealed that low responsiveness to streptococcal cell wall antigen (SCW) was inherited as an HLA-linked dominant trait. CD8 + suppressor T ceils existed in low r...

H-2-LINKED IMMUNE RESPONSE (Ir) GENES

Two H-2-linked autosomal dominant immune response (Ir) genes Ir-IgG and Ir-IgA were demonstrated to be at separate loci. Ir-IgG controls the immune response to IgG (gamma2a) myeloma proteins and Ir-IgA the immune response to IgA meyloma proteins. Both genes are associated with the H-2K region specificities of the H-2 chromosome, specifically Ir-IgG with H-2(b) and Ir-IgA with H-2(a). Different ...

X-linked genes and mental functioning.

The X-chromosome has played a crucial role in the development of sexually selected characteristics for over 300 million years. During that time it has accumulated a disproportionate number of genes concerned with mental functions. Evidence is emerging, from studies of both humans and mice, for a general influence upon intelligence (as indicated by the large number of X-linked mental retardation...
