Abstract excerpt
Inbred LEW/N rats are relatively susceptible, while histocompatible inbred F344/N rats are relatively resistant to development of a wide variety of inflammatory diseases in response to a range of pro-inflammatory stimuli. In a LEW/N vs. F344/N F2 intercross, we identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on Chr 10 that protects in a dominant fashion against the exudate volume component of innate inflammation in...
