Linkage analyses in F(2) progeny from MCMV-resistant MA/My (H2 (k)) and MCMV-susceptible BALB/c (H2 (d)) and BALB.K (H2 (k)) mouse strains indicated that only the combination of alleles encoded by a gene in the Klra (also called Ly49) cluster on chromosome 6, and one in the major histocompatibility complex (H2) on chromosome 17, is associated with virus resistance.
Further, we saw a similar pattern of SP-specific staining in the two mouse strains, indicating that the induction is not a strain specific response.
First, limiting dilution in two different immunosuppressed mouse strains indicate that the rhabdosphere population is at least 100 fold more tumorigenic than adherent cells.
The results of the present study, in which we used both the BALB/c and C57BL/6 mouse strains, indicate that B-cells, DCs, and NK cells do not play a role in the HSV-IL-2-induced demyelination.
The results from the measurements of GLUD1 activity (glutamate deamination and oxidation) in brain homogenates from the three mouse strains indicated significantly lower enzyme activity in Balb/c as compared with either C57BL/6 or CD-1 mice.
The graph of haemoglobin in the three mouse strains studied, indicates two phases of anaemia development.
Analyses of inbred mouse strains have indicated that MPDZ status is genetically correlated with convulsions induced by certain chemicals, with some of the strongest genetic correlations observed for chemicals affecting signaling pathways involving glutamate (Fehr et al. 2004).
In contrast, there are several different mouse-adapted scrapie strains indicating the presence of more than one classical scrapie strain in the original host (7).
The present findings of improved graft survival associated with a decreased release of inflammatory cytokines by macrophages in "aged" mice complements previous findings in other mouse strains [34], and indicates that this process reduces defences against Plasmodium.
The hydroxyproline levels of F1 mice resemble the resistant parental strains, indicating that fibrosis susceptibility is a recessive trait.
