Abstract excerpt
In inbred mouse strains, permissiveness to intracellular replication of Legionella pneumophila is controlled by a single locus (Lgn1), which maps to a region within distal Chromosome 13 that contains multiple copies of the gene baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 1 (Birc1, also called Naip; refs. 1-3). Genomic BAC clones from the critical interval were transferred into transgenic mice to functionally complement the...
