Production of a natural antibody to the mouse polyoma virus is a multigenic trait. Genes, Genomes, Genetics 2(3): 353-355.2160-1836http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:9637981MA/MyJ mice express a natural antibody to the highly oncogenic polyoma virus. C57BR/cdJ mice lack this antibody but mount an adaptive T-cell response to the virus. Analysis of F2 progeny of a cross between these strains reveals a pattern of inheritance of expression of the natural antibody involving two genes in an epistatic relationship.en-USnatural antibodypolyoma virusmultigenic inheritanceepistasisJournal Article2012-09-2510.1534/g3.111.001701
