Title: The BALB.B6-Cmv1{sup r} mouse: A strain congenic for Cmv1 and the NK gene complex

Journal Article · · Immunogenetics
OSTI ID:75611

Genetically determined resistance to murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) in mice is controlled by both H2 and non-H2 genes. We have identified a phenotypically-defined, autosomal dominant, non-H2 gene, designated Cmvl, that regulates MCMV replication in the spleens of inbred mice. C57BL/6J mice possess the Cmvl{sup r} and exhibit low titers of MCMV replication, whereas the BALB/c strain, which possesses the Cmvl{sup s} allele, exhibits high virus titers in the spleen. 19 refs., 4 figs.
