Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The SAMP1/Yit mouse strain develops spontaneous ileitis with histologic features of Crohn's disease. Disease expression in the SAMP1/YitFc subline (SAMP1/Fc) is partially inhibited by outcross to C57BL/6J (B6) mice, suggesting complex genetic control of disease susceptibility with both dominant and recessive determinants. We performed a genetic analysis of a (B6 x SAMP1/Fc)F(2) cross to...
