The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) locus comprises the tandemly arranged genes coding for Tnfa (cachectin)and Tnfb (lymphotoxin-alpha) (Semon et al. 1987). In mice, the TNF locus is located on chromosome 17 (MMU17) in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)region. Tnfa and soluble lymphotoxin alp...

Polymorphisms in the TNFa but not in TNFb microsatellite and correlation with trypanosomiasis in mice
Susceptible A/J and more resistant C57BL/6J mice were infected with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi 54X, P.c. chabaudi AS and Plasmodium chabaudi adami 408XZ. As expected, most C57BL/6J mice survived the infections with the different isolates. But in contrast to previous observations, not all A/J ...

Genome-wide quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping was used to evaluate the genetic basis of resistance to Helgmosomides polygyrus in an F2 cross of SWR and CBA mouse strains that are resistant and susceptible, respectively, to infection. 25 significant QTL affecting at least one of the resistanc...

Quantitative trait loci for resistance to gastro-intestinal nematode infections in mice
C57BL/6J mice are relatively resistant to trypanosomosis compared to BALB/c or A/J mice. Bloodstream trypanosomes are partly dependent on the host for lipid supply and the plasma lipid levels differ between resistant and susceptible mice. Furthermore, genes controlling plasma lipid levels are dif...
