Abstract excerpt
The strains BALB/cHeA (BALB/c) and STS/A (STS) differ in production of IL-4 and IL-10, two Th2 cytokines, after stimulation of spleen cells with Concanavalin A, STS being a low and BALB/c a high producer. We analyzed the genetic basis of this strain difference using the recombinant congenic (RC)...
