A Linkage Study of Rabbit Serum High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Allotypes

Close linkage between the two allotypic systems of rabbit serum high density lipoprotein (HDL), Hl 1 and R 67, has been confidently excluded, the recombination fraction being at least 0-20. No suggestion of linkage between either HDL allotype and the immunoglobulin allotypes a1a2a3/b4b9, or the red blood cell system (RBC) ADF was obtained. Close linkage was confidently excluded for the Hl 1-ADF, Hl 1-a1a2a3, R 67-ADF, R 67-a1a2a3, R 67-b4b9, a1a2a3-b4b9, and b4b9-ADF relationships.
