Abstract excerpt
Two strains of mice were genetically selected for susceptibility (TS-Ab/HetS strain) or resistance (TR-Ab/HetS strain) to oral tolerance of the humoral response by using ovalbumin (OVA). The progressive interstrain divergence produced by bi-directional selective breeding during 15 generations demonstrated the polygenic nature of oral tolerance. This paper shows the humoral and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH)...
