Abstract excerpt
Inbred mouse strains derived from the species Mus spretus have been very informative in the study of certain gene polymorphisms in inflammation and infection. Based on our interest in sepsis, we used SPRET/EiJ mice and mapped several critical loci that are linked to sensitivity to cytokine-induced inflammation and endotoxemia. These studies were based on prominent phenotypes that have never been observed in...
