Abstract excerpt

Two panels of H-2 recombinant strains of mice were used in an attempt to map the H-2-linked genes which control resistance to infection with Trichuris muris. Response phenotypes could be related to the presence of 'resistance' (q,b) or 'susceptibility' (k,d) alleles at I-A. The influence of these...
