Genetic control of oral tolerance to ovalbumin in mice.
We have investigated the genetic basis of oral tolerance to OVA in a number of inbred mouse strains. Our results emphasise the efficiency of the oral route for inducing tolerance and provide evidence for both MHC and non-MHC linked control of oral tolerance.
