Genetic Linkage of C3H/HeJ and BALB/c Endogenous Ecotropic C-Type Viruses to Phosphoglucomutase-1 on Chromosome 5

Abstract
The genetic linkage of the endogenous C3H/HeJ C-type ecotropic virus to phosphoglucomutase-1 (0.28, recombinant fraction) on chromosome 5 was established by means of serological assays of backcrossed mice. With a combination of serological techniques and DNA-DNA hybridization the BALB/c endogenous ecotropic virus was shown to be either closely linked or allelic with the C3H/HeJ locus.
