        "abstract": "The theta antigen, described by Reif and Allen (1), provides a marker for thymus-derived lymphocytes in the mouse. The uses of this antigen system for studies in numerous fields, including immune system development, cellular cooperation, and the distribution of lymphocyte subpopulations, have recently\nbeen reviewed (2). Expression of the theta antigen is governed by a single autosomal locus having two alleles, \u03b8^(AKR) and \u03b8^(C3H) (3). After immunization with \u03b8-AKR antigen-bearing cells, spleen cells harvested from mice homozygous for \u03b8^(c3H) have been shown to form plaques against thymus cells from several inbred rat strains as well as against those of mice carrying the \u03b8^(AKR) allele (4). The present study was undertaken in order to clarify the relationship between this rat antigen system and the \u03b8-system of mice.",
