Abstract excerpt
The effect of the Slt mutant gene on the production of melanocytes, tissue mast cells, and erythrocytes was compared with the effect of the Sl and Sld mutant genes on the same genetic background [(WB X C57BL/6)F1 mice]. Although the rank order of cell numbers was similar in these three types of cells (i.e., +/+ greater than Slt/Slt greater than Sld/Slt greater than Sl/Slt greater than Sl/Sld), the difference in...
