Abstract excerpt
The BALB/c inbred mouse strain is one of the most commonly used for immunological studies and is an animal model for natural killer (NK) cell function during pathogen infection and tumorigenesis. To understand better NK cell function in this strain, the complete BALB/c Ly49 haplotype was deduced. The BALB/c haplotype spans approximately 300 kb with a gene order and content of Ly49q, e, x, i, g, l, c, and a....
