Susceptibility to Murine Hepatitis Virus (type 3)-induced Paralysis is Influenced by Class I Genes of the MHC

Using H-2 recombinant congenic strains of mice, genetic analysis of resistance to murine hepatitis virus type 3 (MHV3)-induced paralysis was performed. It appeared that both H-2K and H-2D, two class I gene regions of the mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC), can play independent significant roles in the establishment of such resistance.
