Abstract excerpt
To investigate effects of a 16.8-Mb region on rat chromosome 4q42-43 on encephalomyelitis, we performed a high-resolution mapping using a 10th generation advanced intercross line between the susceptible DA strain and the MHC identical but resistant PVG.1AV1 strain. Clinical signs of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) developed in 29% of 772 F(10) rats....
