Abstract excerpt
Nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice carrying a segment of chromosome flanking the disrupted IFN-gamma receptor gene from original 129 ES cells are resistant to development of diabetes. However, extended backcrossing of this mouse line to the NOD mouse resulted in a segregation of the IFN-gammaR-deficient genotype from the diabetes-resistant phenotype. These results indicate that the protection of NOD mice from the...
