Mapping of the <i>Fv‐4</i> mouse gene controlling resistance to murine leukemia viruses

Abstract

Fv-4, a gene controlling susceptibility to ecotropic murine leukemia viruses, was linked to both Pre-I (prealbumin) and Igh-I (immunoglobulin heavy-chain constant region) loci on chromosome 12 in mice. The gene order was Fv-4 - Pre-I - Igh-I, and the estimated frequency of recombination between Fv-4 and Pre-I was about 20%.
