Recombinant inbred mouse strains derived from A/J and C57BL/6J: a tool for the study of genetic mechanisms in host resistance to infection and malignancy.
A number of recombinant inbred mouse strains (currently 48) have been developed from the strains A/J and C57BL/6J. These strains are likely to become an excellent probe in the study of genetic mechanisms underlying host resistance to infections and tumors.
