Recombinant-Inbred Strains an AId to Finding Identity, Linkage, and Function of Histocompatibility and Other Genes

The development of seven recombinant-inbred (RI) strains is described. The results of allele typing the seven strains at eight histocompatibility (H) loci are presented, and the use of such information in identifying H loci, searching for H gene function, and assisting linkage testing procedures is described.
