In an earlier paper, we presented evidence that two independent mutants of the b9 series, B6-H-2 bin5 (binS) and B6-H-2 b'nl 6 (bin16) carry identical mutations such that tyrosine at residue number 116 of the H-2K b molecule from the parent strain C57BL/6Kh is replaced by a phenylalanine in each of

Abstract
The B6.C‐H‐2^bm12^ has been examined serologically with a new set of reagents and several complementation studies were performed to determine the extent of the mutation. The results show that: (a) the mutation has also affected the site(s) bound by xenogeneic anti‐Ia antibodies; (b) the IJ^b^ region was not affected; (c) complementation studies with stains bearing a, b, d, k and s haplotypes did not complement bm12 for the expression of the lost I‐A^b^ specificities, suggesting a structural (rather than regulatory) gene alteration in bm12; (d) H‐2 haplotypes b and bm12 could complement d to establish the Ia.22 specificity, indicating that Ia‐1 and A~c~ are separate genes in the I‐A subregion In addition, an antibody to the gained specificity on bm12 is described.
