Abstract excerpt
C3H/HeJ inbred mice are defective in that they are highly resistant to endotoxic shock as compared with normal responder mice. Their B cells and macrophages do not respond significantly when exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), whereas cells from the responder mice do. Using a functional assay, we previously isolated a cDNA, which encodes for Ran/TC4 GTPase. We now show that this gene is mutated in C3H/HeJ mice,...
