A protective role for a chromosome 19 QTL in MCMV infected F2 mice. Spleen virus level data stratified in a by D19Mit68 genotype and in b by D19Mit68 and D17Mit16 genotypes shows a protective effect of C57L alleles and a generally protective effect in combination with MA/My alleles on chromosome 17. Significance as determined by Wilcoxon test is indicated. For comparison, a similar stratification was performed for the adjacent marker D19Mit88 and no protective effect was seen (data not shown)
