Olfactory discrimination of mouse strains (Mus musculus) and major histocompatibility types by humans (Homo sapiens).

A N Gilbert, K Yamazaki, G K Beauchamp, L Thomas.   

Abstract

A series of experiments revealed that humans can use olfaction to discriminate closely related strains of mice, differing genetically only at the major histocompatibility gene complex (H-2). In Experiment 1, subjects were asked to distinguish between the whole-body odors of live mice. In Experiments 2 and 3, the odor source was mouse fecal pellets, and in Experiments 4 and 5, the odor source was mouse urine.
