Abstract excerpt
Outbred MF1 mice were characterized with respect to their susceptibility to infection with Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Nematoda) on the basis of faecal egg counts after 8 weeks of repeated infection (50 larvae/week). Selective breeding for resistance and susceptibility was carried out over 3 generations. The H-2 type of a sample of the mice was determined, and antigen recognition assessed on the basis of Western...
