Abstract excerpt
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-linked susceptibility to type 1 diabetes consists of multiple components. Previous studies with NOD mice congenic for the MHC from a sister strain, the CTS mouse, mapped Idd16, a second component of MHC-linked susceptibility to type 1 diabetes, in the region adjacent to, but distinct from Idd1 in the class II region. In this study, three lines of subcongenic strains were...
