Abstract excerpt
Inoculation of adult mice with Friend virus complex usually induces rapid viremia and erythroleukemia, resulting in death in 1 to 3 months. In certain mouse strains, a single host gene, Rfv3, controls the ability to mount a virus-specific neutralizing antibody response which results in elimination of viremia. In this study, microsatellite markers were used to localize the Rfv3 gene to a 20-centimorgan region of...
