Abstract

The MSWBS sarcoma, an isoantigenic loss variant selected from a near-diploid heterozygous tumor, lost one ofthe parental H-2 antigens by a mechanism that did not involve the loss of a whole chromosome bearing the relevant genetic determinant. But when the same selective procedures were used to select isoantigenic loss variants from hybrid cell tumors, loss of one parental H-2 antigen was associated with elimination of both chromosomes bearing that genetic determinant. This was established in an especially favorable hybrid line, TA3Ha/ MSWBS, in which both of the #17 chromosomes bearing the H-2 determinants derived from TA3Ha were morphologically normal, and both of the #17 chromosomes derived from MSWBS were involved in identifiable translocations.
