Abstract
Tissue-specific catalase activity in 3-week-old animals from inbred mouse strains 129/ReJ, BALB/c, C3H/HeAnl/Cas-1b, C3H/HeSnJ, C3H/S, C57BL/6J, and Swiss-Webster was found to be highly variable by analysis of variance (P = 0.01). Appropriate crosses were made among strains which were classified as normal (BALB/c, C3H/HeSnJ, C3H/S), hypocatalasemic (129/ReJ, C57BL/6J), and acatalasemic (C3H/HeAnl/Cas-1b) with respect to blood catalase activity to study the inheritance of the blood, kidney, liver, and lung catalase activity levels in a number of generations (reciprocal F1's, F2, two backcrosses--BC1 and BC2--and some RI lines). Segregation analysis and statistical methods which tested different models of inheritance as well as calculations of heritability were used in an effort to assess and evaluate genetic parameters that affect catalase activity. Results indicate that the inheritance of blood catalase activity in the cross involving acatalasemic and normal (BALB/c, C3H/HeSnJ) strains is compatible with the single-locus difference between the parental strains; however, the difference between the acatalasemic and the hypocatalasemic strain (C57BL/6J) would require additional genetic interaction for a satisfactory explanation. A similar pattern of generalization also applies to the inheritance of kidney catalase activity. The segregation pattern for the liver and lung catalase activity in most crosses is significantly different from the expectations of the single locus model. These results are compatible with the concept that a number of genes must affect tissue-specific catalase activity in mice. These may include previously described (e.g., Ce-1 and Ce-2) or novel genetic regulators/modifiers which interact with a single structural gene (Cas-1) or its product to produce the catalase phenotype characteristic of specific tissues in each strain.

Abstract
Zaprionus paravittiger fed with an antioxidant (sodium hypophosphite, 1 X 10(3) microM) supplemented diet exhibited adaptive compensatory responses in catalase activity (quantitative as well as qualitative). The longevity and catalase activity were found to be positively linked. The study denotes that free radical formation and antioxygenic defenses are closely associated and are the possible determinants of life span and ageing.

Abstract
Neuraminidase-1 (NEU-1) is one of two neuraminidase isozymes which can be detected electrophoretically in mouse liver extracts. The inheritance of variation in NEU-1 and the linkage relationships of the gene controlling this variation were studied through a backcross analysis involving the SM/J and MA/MyJ inbred strains, and by examination of NEU-1 phenotypes in three congenic strains: B10.SM, B10.SM(22R) and B10.RVB. The data indicate that NEU-1 is controlled by Neu-1, a gene previously identified by its effect on total liver neuraminidase activity in whole tissue homogenates. Analysis of the congenic strains revealed identical low activity (SM/J-type: Neu-1a/Neu-1a) NEU-1 phenotypes in all three strains. This indicates that Neu-1 lies in the segment of the SM/J-derived H-2 region that is common to all three strains: H-2E alpha to H-2D. In addition, we examined the relationship between NEU-1 and phenotypic variation in liver acid phosphatase (AP; for which a new typing method is described) and linkage order among several other enzyme-coding genes linked to H-2. In all animals that could be scored confidently for AP, the NEU-1 and AP phenotypes were concordant, adding support to the hypothesis that both phenotypes are controlled by Neu-1. Recombination rates among six H-2-linked marker loci were unexpectedly low, but were sufficient to verify the position of Upg-1 as the telomeric flanking marker relative to Glo-1, H-2 (C4), Neu-1 (Apl), Ce-2 and Pgk-2.

Abstract
Meprin, a glycoprotein with potent metalloendopeptidase activity, is an integral component of the brush border membrane of mouse kidney. Previously we reported that genealogically related inbred mouse strains (C3H and CBA) are markedly deficient in the activity of this enzyme. We report here that meprin deficiency is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and that several other inbred strains also express low levels of meprin activity. All of the inbred strains deficient in meprin activity are of the H-2k haplotype; however, two strains of this haplotype (C58 and C57BR/cd) expressed normal levels of the proteinase. Congeneic and recombinant mouse strains were examined to determine whether the deficiency was linked to the H-2 complex. The gene controlling the activity of meprin (Mep-1) maps on chromosome 17 to the right of the D end of the major histocompatibility complex. The Mep-1 gene is closely linked to a gene that controls isoenzyme patterns of phosphoglycerate kinase (Pgk-2). This work represents the localization of a gene that determines the activity of an integral cellular endopeptidase in mammalian tissues. In addition, the Mep-1 gene is the only identified gene linked to the major histocompatibility complex that regulates a proteinase activity.

Abstract
One hundred and four H-2 congenic lines were typed for alleles at seven loci, Qa-1, Qa-2, Tla, C3, Ce-2, Pgk-2, and Upg-1, residing distal to the H-2 complex. The results of the typing were used to estimate the length of the segment of chromosome 17 derived from the donor strain of each line--that is, the minimal length of the differential segment. The results indicate that only lines derived by intra-H-2 crossing-over in such a way that they inherited the right-hand portion of H-2 from the inbred partner have the telomeric half of chromosome 17 identical with that of the inbred-partner strain. In other lines the differential segment is at least 3 to 10 cM long. It is argued that in some lines the entire telomeric half of chromosome 17 might be of donor-strain origin.

Abstract
Linkage disequilibrium between the T/t complex and Pgk-2 - two loci flanking the murine major histocompatibility complex on chromosome 17 - has been found in a population of wild mice. By subjecting 78 wild males to progeny testing, we extracted 15 recessive t haplotypes of the T/t complex and assigned 12 of them to the tw5 complementation group. We also determined the allelic phase of T/t, Pgk-2, and Ce-2 on both chromosomes from each wild male. The allele Pgk-2c was always associated with a t haplotype, although the converse was not true.

Abstract
SM/J liver arylsulfatase B has a more rapid electrophoretic mobility and occurs as a series of more acidic isozymes following electrofocusing in narrow pH gradients than the liver enzyme from C57Bl/6J mice. The SM/J and C57BL/6J electrofocusing patterns were both converted to a single isozyme with similar isoelectric points by pretreatment with neuraminidase, suggesting that the SM/J and C57BL/6J isozymes differed with respect to their sialic acid content. Arylsulfatase B electrofocusing and thermostability phenotypes segregated independently among progeny of SM/J x C57BL/6J crosses, suggesting that the electrofocusing phenotypes were not determined by different alleles at As-1, the putative structural locus for arylsulfatase B. Comparison of the joint segregation of hepatic acid phosphatase electrophoretic patterns and liver arylsulfatase B electrofocusing profiles revealed that the electrofocusing profiles may be determined by a region on chromosome 17 near of identical to Apl. Kidney, brain, and spleen arylsulfatase B electrofocusing patterns did not appear to differ between SM/J and C57BL/6J mice.

Abstract
SUMMARYTwo hundred and two house mice (Mus musculusL.) from 29 populations in Europe and North Africa were typed for 16 H-2K and 17 H-2D antigens, each antigen defining a different allele. Among the 13 best characterized populations, 1 to 4 common and 3 to 20 rare antigens were observed. However, an average of 37% of the H-2K and 39% of the H-2D antigens remain to be identified. Ninety-four percent of the 50 mice tested were heterozygous for H-2K antigens and 89% for H-2D antigens. In 4 of the 8 populations tested, the most common H-2K and H-2D antigens occurred in the same individual more often than if randomly associated. Associations between common H-2K and H-2D antigens and excess heterozygosities may be the consequence of the small size and instability of populations composed primarily of related individuals. Estimates of the genetic distances between populations revealed that Danish, Egyptian, and several of the Orkney Island populations were related. These were the only populations in which metacentric chromosomes were not found. In contrast, populations which were antigenically different were also karyotypically different, regardless of taxonomic status of allozymic similarity.

Abstract
Characterization of human lymphocyte N-acetyltransferase (NAT) for specific activity, substrate specificity, inhibition, pH optimum, apparent Km kinetic mechanism, trypsin stability, freezing stability, and heat stability was carried out in rapid and slow isoniazid (INH) acetylators. There is a statistically significant difference in the heat stability of lymphocyte NAT from rapid and slow INH phenotypes. The lymphocyte enzyme from rapid INH acetylators is less heat stable than the lymphocyte enzyme from slow INH acetylators. This is an indication of a structural, possibly polymorphic, difference in lymphocyte NAT from the two acetylator phenotypes.

Abstract
Forty-five patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the extracranial head and neck who had undergone CT as part of their evaluation were reviewed to assess the impact of CT on clinical management. The sites of tumor deposition were subdivided by location: I, nodal; II, extranodal, lymphatic (Waldeyer's ring); and III, extranodal, extralymphatic (orbit, sinonasal, deep facial spaces, mandible, salivary gland, skin, and larynx). The CT appearance of NHL in each of the three locations was analyzed for characteristic CT signatures. Nodal NHL was suspected when CT showed multiple, large, homogeneous lymph nodes, often in unusual nodal chains of the head and neck. Extranodal, lymphatic NHL of Waldeyer's ring was indistinguishable from squamous cell carcinoma of this area unless synchronous tumor deposit in an extranodal, extralymphatic location was also present. When NHL was in nodes and/or Waldeyer's ring, CT-derived information was of limited clinical value since treatment was unfocused (chemotherapy and/or large-field radiotherapy). The CT appearances of extranodal, extralymphatic NHL was generally not distinguishable from other malignancies of these areas. However, CT-derived information regarding deep-tissue tumor size and extent was critical to planning the radiotherapy ports.

Abstract
A survey of the Pgk-2 alleles carried by H-2 congenic lines of mice has established that the Pgk-2 locus is near the D end of the H-2 complex on chromosome 17. A comparison among inbred strains of the alleles for Pgk-2, H-2, and two other genes in this vicinity, Tla and Ce-2, has revealed a remarkable correlation suggestive of strong linkage disequilibrium in the wild mice from which the inbred strains were derived.

Abstract
Apl, a gene involved in the processing of lysosomal acid phosphatase in mouse liver, has been mapped on Chromosome 17. The gene order and map distances in per cent recombination of the loci studied are T (20.6 +/- 3.4) Pgk-2 (7.4 +/- 2.2) Apl. Thus, Apl is at least 7 cM distal to H-2 on this chromosome. In addition, strain-specific allelic variants for Apl have been demonstrated on cellulose acetate gels, a quick and inexpensive method of electrophoresis.
