Abstract excerpt
We previously identified by linkage analysis a region on chromosome 1 (Eam1) that confers susceptibility to experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM). To evaluate the role of Eam1, we created a congenic mouse strain, carrying the susceptible Eam1 locus of A.SW on the resistant B10.S background (B10.A-Eam1 congenic) and analyzed three outcomes: 1) the incidence and severity of EAM, 2) the susceptibility of lymph...
