Notes

• Experiment
  C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) differ in susceptibility to Sendai virus infection. B6 is resistant whereas D2 is susceptible to Sendai virus. Various crosses using B6 and D2 were utilized in a genome wide scan with STS markers to indentify QTL responsible for the resistant/susceptible phenotype. A significant locus , Ssen1, in mouse Chromosome 4 at 23 cM was found between D4Mit146 and D4Mit204 with a LRS of 14.5. Suggestive linkage was found in chromosome 8 , between D8Mit4 and D8Mit100 and again in chromosome 14 between the centromere and D14Mit10. The authors investigated epistatic interaction using (B6 X D2) backcross mice. A significant epistatic interactions were found between D3Mit182 and D14Mit10 with a p value less the 0.0001. The chromosome3 locus was designated as Ssen2 and as Ssen3 for the chromosome 14 locus. A list of candidate genes for Ssen1, Ssen2 and Ssen3 are listed in table 2 of the mapping reference.
