Abstract excerpt
The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a polygenic model of insulin-dependent diabetes. To better understand the biology, immunology and genetics of this mouse strain NOD mice were typed for RFLP at 29 loci and microsatellite variation at a further nine loci. Mice were also typed for the expression of lymphocyte differentiation antigens. Comparisons were made with two non-diabetic strains, C57BL/6 and SJL, for...
