Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-10-deficient (Il10(-/-)) mice on a C3H/HeJBir genetic background develop more severe colitis than those on a C57BL/6J background. We performed genome screens for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) regulating colitis susceptibility in this model system using two first backcross populations derived from these two strains. To reduce the complexity of this analysis, the information from numerous histologic...
