Abstract

We have used a novel quantitative trait locus model to study the genetics of survival of F2 progeny of susceptible BALB/cByJ and resistant C57BL/6ByJ mice that have been infected with Listeria monocytogenes. This allowed us to map modifiers of L. monocytogenes susceptibility to chromosomes 5 and 13.
