Abstract excerpt
The Ped (preimplantation embryo development) gene, which maps to the Q region of the mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC), controls the rate of cleavage division of preimplantation mouse embryos and subsequent embryonic survival. Of the ten known MHC class I genes in the Q region of the mouse MHC, four--Q6, Q7, Q8, and Q9--are almost identical and encode similar proteins, all called the Qa-2 antigen....
