Abstract excerpt
The extreme susceptibility to infection with Salmonella Typhimurium of wild-derived MOLF/Ei mice has been linked to one genomic region on Chromosome 1 (Ity3). A member of the Toll-like receptors family, Tlr5, located on distal Chromosome 1, was previously shown to be a candidate gene for Ity3 based on expression studies and sequencing analysis. The candidacy of Tlr5 as a Salmonella-susceptibility gene was...
