Popis: A third allotype of rabbit secretory component has been identified. The allotype previously referred to as t62 by our laboratory can now be subdivided into two allotypes, t62 and t63, with alloantisera capable of discriminating between the two. Results of family studies are consistent with a three allele system (t61, t62 and t63) at the t-locus. By SDS PAGE, electrophoretic mobilities of the multiple SC bands for each of the three allotypes are characteristic of the allotype; the apparent molecular sizes of the bands of the t62 allotype are 2 to 3 kDa lower than those for the t61 allotype. The banding patterns of the t61 and t63, although similar, are not identical to each other. Results of serologic cross-reaction studies and of tryptic peptide mapping studies suggest multiple structural differences between the allotypes as well as a closer relationship between t62 and t63 than between either of these allotypes and t61.
