Abstract excerpt
The antitoxin response of isogenic mice (inbred strains and F1 hybrids), immunized with diphtheria and tetanus reference vaccines, was compared with the response of animals from an NIH outbred stock. The variance in antitoxin response was smaller within the groups of isogenic mice than within the...
