Abstract excerpt
Resistance or susceptibility of inbred mouse strains to the parasite Leishmania major correlates with CD4+ T cell responses of the Th1 or Th2 subsets, respectively. To evaluate the genetic basis for this difference, resistant B10.D2 mice were backcrossed onto susceptible BALB/c mice for five generations with selection for resistance. Candidate resistance loci were identified by high frequency of heterozygosity in...
