1.It was reconfirmed that 6 different leucocyte phenotypes designated AD, B, AC, ABC, ABD, ACD were identified in 106 outbred animals bred in Japan. The proportion of each phenotype was as follows: AD;42%, ACD;25%, AC;13%, ABD;12%, ABC;5%, B;3%. 2.The phenotype of JY-1 and Hartley-F was AD and that of JY-2 was AC. 3.From genetic study on leucocyte antigens in 38 animals from 6 families, both B and AD animals were proved to be homozygous. It is suspected that brother-sister mating of B or AD animals is more available to produce inbred strain. 4.Cross immunization with leucocytes in 2 pairs of AD animals did not yield new isoantiserum.
