Respiratory syncytial virus infection in inbred mice.
Respiratory syncytial virus infected the nose and lungs of each of 20 strains of inbred mice, with viral titers varying 100-fold from least permissive to most permissive strains. Viral titers appeared to be under genetic control, but did not correlate with the H-2 haplotype.
