A mouse antigen, MuB1, has been shown by the study of backcrosses to be inherited in a unifactorial dominant manner. Its inheritance is not linked with gamma globulin allotypes, but has been shown to be linked with the presence of the haemolytic complement system. The concentration of MuB1 in the serum of several inbred strains of mice showed sex-associated differences; however, the presence of MuBl did not depend on the sex of the parents or on the sex of the offspring. The inheritance of antibody responsiveness is discussed in terms of the inheritance of the antigen, MuB1.
