Abstract excerpt
Autoimmune diabetes is a polygenic disease process in man and rodents. To identify and characterize genes involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, we initiated a repetitive backcross of diabetes-resistant C57L/J mice onto the NOD strain. This breeding scheme was based on the premise that selection for the trait of disease resistance among genetically mixed mice could be used to...
