Abstract

The H-2 nomenclature was last revised in 1974 (Klein et al. 1974; Shreffler et al. 1974). Since then it has gradually gone out of step with the advances in molecular biology of the H-2 complex as well as the rules for genetic nomenclature established by the International Committee for Mouse Genetic Nomenclature (Lyon 1989). Furthermore, multiple symbols are currently in use designating the same H-2 genes or their products. The present proposal rectifies the existing inconsistencies in the H-2 nomenclature while preserving as much as possible from the previous proposals.
