X-ray Hypersensitivity in the LEA Rat: Genetic Linkage Analysis of Responsible Loci

摘要

The LEA rat was established from a Long-Evans rat closed colony as the control strain of the LEC rat, which is reported to exhibit several mutant phenotypes such as hepatic disorder(hts), blockage of the T cell differentiation(thid)and X-ray hypersensitivity (xhs 1 and xhs2). Here we report that the LEA rat is hypersensitive to X-ray to s similarr degree as the LEC rat, although it is normal with respect to the hts and thid phenotypes.
