Abstract

Results of immunochemical analysis of sera from 335 offspring of 81 litters of rabbits are consistent with the hypothesis that the isoantigenic sites, RGG-I and RGG-II, of the γ-globulins are controlled by a single allelic pair of autosomal genes with both specificities exhibited by the heterozygote. The three genotypes may be designated γ^I/γ^I, γ^II/γ^II, and γ^I/γ^II.
