H-2-linked genes which modify resistance of C57BL/10 mice to subcutaneous infection with Mycobacterium lepraemurium.

ABSTRACT

Strains of C57BL/10 mice with recombinants within the H-2 complex were used to map the genes which control the mononuclear cell response at the infection site and modify resistance to subcutaneous infection with Mycobacterium lepraemurium. Strains with b in the K-E beta regions of the H-2 complex mounted a more rapid cellular response in the infected footpad and were more resistant than mice with d or k in the K-E beta regions. Significant differences between strains with k in the K-E beta regions appeared to be controlled by a gene in the D region.
