Locus controlling Bordetella pertussis-induced histamine sensitization (Bphs), an autoimmune disease-susceptibility gene, maps distal to T-cell receptor (beta)-chain gene on mouse chromosome 6

Bordetella pertussis is particularly important to the study of environmental factors, which include antecedent infections, that can alter the permeability of the blood-brain barrier and even lead to the potentiation of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. The mapping of the Bphs locus to mouse c...

Description
Summary:Bordetella pertussis is particularly important to the study of environmental factors, which include antecedent infections, that can alter the permeability of the blood-brain barrier and even lead to the potentiation of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. The mapping of the Bphs locus to mouse chromosome 6, telomeric of Tcrb and centromeric of Prp, is reported.
