Abstract excerpt
In mice, the Bcg/Nramp1 gene of the chromosome 1 has been implicated in natural resistance or susceptibility to infection with several intramacrophage microorganisms. Functional studies of Bcg/Nramp1 congenic macrophages have shown that this gene has many pleiotropic effects on macrophage activation and function. Although a specific role of Bcg/Nramp1 in the control of pleiotropic effects has not been defined...
