Genetic determinants of resistance to ectromelia (mousepox) virus-induced mortality

G D Wallace et al. J Virol. 1985 Sep.

Abstract

Resistance to ectromelia (mousepox) virus-induced mortality was examined in crosses between susceptible DBA/2J, A/J, and BALB/cByJ mice and resistant C57BL/6J and AKR/J mice. Depending on the cross, resistance to mousepox virus was shown to be determined by one or more independently assorting autosomal loci with dominant alleles for resistance in AKR/J and C57BL/6J mice and recessive alleles in A/J, BALB/cByJ, and DBA/2J mice. A sexual dimorphism in resistance to disease was also observed.
