Abstract excerpt
M.R2k/b mice are identical to the MA/My parent strain aside from a 5.58-Mb C57L-derived region on chromosome 17 (Cmv5s) that causes increased susceptibility to acute murine CMV (MCMV) infection and the development of significant spleen tissue damage. Spleen pathology begins at the marginal zone (MZ), apparent by 2 d postinfection (dpi), and progresses throughout the red pulp by 4 dpi. To better understand how...
