Abstract excerpt
Genetic analysis of host resistance to microbes represents a valuable tool for studies of the pathogenesis of infection. Marked intraspecies differences in resistance or susceptibility among inbred mice are invariably the result of a particular genetic makeup of the host. Appropriate breeding experiments can be designed for the study of the mode of inheritance and of the chromosomal location of the resistance...
