Abstract excerpt
Genetic influences on female reproductive cycles were analysed in histocompatibility-congenic strains of mice. Oestrous cycles of young, virgin mice of inbred-congenic strains, hybrid crosses (F1), and parental-hybrid backcrosses (F2) were monitored for 3 months. Oestrous cycles were categorized by length (inter-oestrous interval): 4, 5, 6, or 7-14 days. Mice with the following H-2 haplotypes had a greater...
