Abstract excerpt
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in NOD/Lt mice represents a complex polygenic disease. NOR/Lt is a recombinant congenic strain (RCS) in which limited regions of the NOD/Lt genome have been replaced by genome from the C57BL/KsJ strain. NOR mice are insulitis resistant and diabetes free despite genetic identity with NOD at numerous chromosomal regions containing previously described insulin-dependent...
