Abstract excerpt
Inheritance patterns in mice suggested that resistance to flavivirus-induced disease was conferred by a single autosomal dominant allele (Flv(r)). A positional cloning strategy followed by comparison of Flv interval gene sequences from congenic resistant C3H.PRI-Flv(r) and susceptible C3H/He mouse strains identified the 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1b (Oas1b) gene as Flv. However, since these mouse strains...
