Abstract

The unresponsiveness to LPS detected in C57BL/10Cr mice is inherited as a recessive trait and is determined by an autosomal gene linked to theMup-1 locus on chromosome 4. Since no complementation for LPS responsiveness was observed in F(1) hybrid mice between C3H/HeJ and C57BL/10Cr, we conclude that C57BL/10Cr mice carry a defective allele at the sameLps locus, previously identified by the mutation detected in the C3H/HeJ strain.
