Cenetic and immunological aspects of litter size in the mouse.
The effects of antigenic differences between mother and fetus on implantation number and on post-implantation mortality were studied. No evidence was found to support the hypothesis that these two measurements were affected by such antigenic differences or by prior immunization of the mother to paternal antigens.
