Summary Among 11 lymphocyte factors defined in sheep, 9 are the products of multiple alleles at 2 closely linked loci: OLA‐A and OLA‐B. A tenth factor is the product of a gene at a third locus: OL‐X probably on the same chromosome, but in this case very distant from OLA. The last factor is the product of a gene at a fourth locus: OL‐Z, independent of OLA‐A and B.
