Abstract excerpt
We have previously identified a locus on mouse chromosome 15 (eae2) that regulates susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in a cross between the susceptible strain B10.RIII and the resistant strain RIIIS/J. In an effort to verify the protective effect from having two RIIIS/J alleles at eae2, the resistant locus was bred into the susceptible strain in homozygous form. However, the expected...
