Abstract excerpt
The identification and characterization of genetic loci that contribute to patterns of susceptibility/resistance to infection provide important insights into the mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity. Genetic heterogeneity across the population makes the characterization of such traits in humans technically difficult; however, inbred animal models represent an ideal tool for such analyses. This review...
