Abstract excerpt
The mouse strains BALB/cHeA (BALB/c) and STS/A (STS) are susceptible and resistant to Leishmania major-induced disease, respectively. We analyzed this difference using recombinant congenic (RC) BALB/c-c-STS/Dem (CcS/Dem) strains that carry different random subsets of 12.5% genes of the strain STS in a BALB/c background. Previously, testing the resistant strain CcS-5, we found five novel Lmr (Leishmania major...
