title: Retinal cAMP levels in the mouse: lack of effect of the major histocompatibility locus.
abstract: Studies of retinal cAMP have previously neglected the effects of the major histocompatibility locus, which is a confounding variable for cAMP levels in a variety of tissues. We have determined posterior globe cAMP in dark- and light-adapted mice of two inbred, and their respective H-2 congenic, strains of mice. No significant difference in cAMP levels was found among the inbred strains of mice while marked effects of dark adaptation were confirmed.
