Abstract excerpt

Susceptibility to autoimmune orchitis is associated with an immune response (Ir) gene (now designated Orch-1) which was preliminarily shown to reside at or near the H-2D subregion of the major histocompatibility complex in the mouse (H-2). In this study, the role of H-2 in controlling both diseas...
