Using H-2 recombinant and mutant mice, the Rfv-1 gene influencing spontaneous recovery from Friend retrovirus (FV)-induced leukaemia was mapped in the D locus. Two Db alleles were required for full recovery, and a single Dd transgene did not convey increased susceptibility to FV in the presence of homozygous Db/b genotype. The results suggest that an increase in the expression of Db may lead to more effective stimulation of FV-specific CTL.
