Definition
English
:
Genetic loci
responsible for the encoding of
histocompatibility antigens
other than those encoded by the
MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX
. The
antigens
encoded by these genes are often responsible for
graft rejection
in cases where
histocompatibility
has been established by standard tests. The location of some of these loci on the X and Y
chromosomes
explains why grafts from males to
females
may be rejected while grafts from
females
to males are accepted. In the mouse roughly 30
minor histocompatibility loci
have been recognized, comprising more than 500 genes.
