Originally designated Le-R and thought to be a mutation within LEW conferring resistance of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) (Waxman et al, 1981, Driscoll et al 1985, Gasser et al, 1983). However, it now appears to have been an accidental genetic contamination by BUF/N rats (Goldmuntz et al, 1993),. See LEW, Immunology.
Resistant to the induction of EAE, though susceptible to adoptively transferred EAE when theyare injected with encephalitogenic T cells from EAE-susceptible LEW rats (Blankenhorn et al,1995).
