Abstract
A contig of cosmids containing the Ring1, Ring2, Ke6, Ke4, Rxrb, and C ol11a2 genes in the rat major histocompatibility complex has been esta blished and aligned to the class II cluster (RT1.Hb). The relative ord er and the transcriptional orientations of these rat genes are the sam e as in their human and mouse homologues. The distances are also simil ar, except for the Col11a2 - class II interval, which is clearly short er in rat and mouse compared with human. The previously defined Ke5 pr obe could be shown to map into the large Col11a2 gene.
