Abstract excerpt
The pollutant ozone (O(3)) induces lung hyperpermeability and inflammation in humans and animal models. Among inbred strains of mice, there is a 3-fold difference in total protein (a marker of permeability) recovered in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid after a 72-h exposure to 0.3 ppm O(3). To determine the chromosomal locations of susceptibility genes, we performed a genome screen using recombinant inbred (RI)...
