Abstract: | The D region of the H-2

haplotype contains five class I genes: H-2D

and H-2L

. Although previous studies have suggested the presence of D-end encoded class I molecules in addition to H-2Dd and H-2Ld, segregation of genes encoding such molecules has not been demonstrated. In this report we have used cãtotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) to examine the D region of the H-2
d
haplotype for the presence of additional class I molecules. CTL generated in (C3H × B6.K1)F1 (K

Although H-2Ld-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb) completely inhibit H-2Ld-specific CTL from killing B10.A(3R) (K

To identify the region containing the gene encoding the Q10 cross-reactive molecule, we show that anti-Q10 CTL lyse target cells from a D-region recombinant strain B10.RQDB, which has H-2D

encodes an antigen recognozed by anti-Q10 CTL. A likely candidate for this gene is D2
