Abstract excerpt
The efficacy of immunization of a vaccine depends on an antigen, an adjuvant, and on the expression of multiple genes in the host. The responsiveness of various strains of mice to adjuvants is therefore dependent on their genetic background present as a complex, multigenic trait similarly as in man. We have recently developed a gene-discovery platform, termed recombinant congenic strains (RCS), that greatly...
