Genetic studies of host susceptibility to infection contribute to our understanding of an organism's response to pathogens at the immunological, cellular, and molecular levels. In this review we describe how the study of host genetics in mouse models has helped our understanding of host defense mechanisms against viral infection, and how this knowledge can be extended to human infections. We focus especially on the innate mechanisms that function as the host's first line of defense against infection. We also discuss the main issues that confront this field, as well as its future.

International database for laboratory mouse. Data offered by The Jackson Laboratory includes information on integrated genetic, genomic, and biological data. MGI creates and maintains integrated representation of mouse genetic, genomic, expression, and phenotype data and develops reference data set and consensus data views, synthesizes comparative genomic data between mouse and other mammals, maintains set of links and collaborations with other bioinformatics resources, develops and supports analysis and data submission tools, and provides technical support for database users. Projects contributing to this resource are: Mouse Genome Database (MGD) Project, Gene Expression Database (GXD) Project, Mouse Tumor Biology (MTB) Database Project, Gene Ontology (GO) Project at MGI, and MouseCyc Project at MGI.
