We challenged several inbred strains of mice with<jats:italic>Y. pestis<\/jats:italic>and found that BALB\/cJ mice are highly resistant compared to susceptible strains such as C57BL\/6J. This resistance was observed only in BALB\/cJ mice and not in other BALB\/c substrains. Compared to C57BL\/6J mice, the BALB\/cJ strain exhibited reduced bacterial burden in the spleen and liver early after infection as well as lower levels of serum interleukin-6. These differences were evident 24 h postinfection and became more pronounced with time. Although a significant influx of neutrophils in the spleen and liver was exhibited in both strains, occlusive fibrinous thrombi resulting in necrosis of the surrounding tissue was observed only in C57BL\/6J mice. In an effort to identify the gene(s) responsible for resistance, we measured total splenic bacteria in 95 F<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>mice 48 h postinfection and performed quantitative trait locus mapping using 58 microsatellite markers spaced throughout the genome. This analysis revealed a single nonrecessive plague resistance locus, designated<jats:italic>prl1<\/jats:italic>(<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>lague<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>esistance<jats:italic>l<\/jats:italic>ocus<jats:italic>1<\/jats:italic>), which coincides with the major histocompatibility complex of chromosome 17. A second screen of 95 backcrossed mice verified that this locus confers resistance to<jats:italic>Y. pestis<\/jats:italic>early in infection. Finally, eighth generation backcrossed mice harboring<jats:italic>prl1<\/jats:italic>were found to maintain resistance in the susceptible C57BL\/6J background. These results identify a novel genetic locus in BALB\/cJ mice that confers resistance to<jats:italic>Y. pestis<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/iai.00488-08","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,24]],"date-time":"2008-06-24T00:55:18Z","timestamp":1214268918000},"page":"4092-4099","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["The Resistance of BALB\/cJ Mice to<i>Yersinia pestis<\/i>Maps to the Major Histocompatibility Complex of Chromosome 17"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Joshua K.","family":"Turner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Milton M.","family":"McAllister","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois 61801"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John L.","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard I.","family":"Tapping","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology"},{"name":"College of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00191545"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1458","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.156.4.1458","volume":"156","year":"1996","unstructured":"Bohn, E., and I.
