Host genes that affect susceptibility to Friend virus–induced disease

Gene  Function
Group 1: interference with retroviral infection Fv4 Blocks retroviral cell surface receptors  
 Fv1 Interferes with retroviral life cycle  
Group 2: altered immune response Fv3 Susceptibility to Friend virus-induced immunosuppression  
 Rfv1, Rfv2 H2-linked determinants of immune response  
 Rfv3 Non–H2-linked determinant of immune response  
Group 3: regulators of erythroid cell proliferation and differentiation Fv5 Determines anemia vs polycythemia  
 Kit, Mgf Required for normal erythropoiesis 
 Fv2 Determines proliferative response to gp55
