Scope note: Sitios genéticos responsables de la codificación de los antígenos de histocompatibilidad distintos a los que codifican el COMPLEJO PRINCIPAL DE HISTOCOMPATIBILIDAD. Los antígenos codificados por estos genes son con frecuencia responsables del rechazo de injertos cuando la histocompatibilidad se estableció con pruebas estándar. La localización de algunos de estos sitios en los cromosomas X e Y A explica porqué los injertos de machos en hembras pueden rechazarse, mientras que los de hembras para machos se aceptan. En el ratón se han identificado unos 30 loci de histocompatibilidad secundaria, que comprenden mas de 500 genes.

Scope note: 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.
