Inbred Strains
of Mice: AG
Inbr (Cam) c155. Colour depends on genotype:
Ay/ae
x
Ay/ae
with
Aw,A,As,at,a
and
p continuously backcrossed to the
Ay/ae
line. Origin: R.A.Fisher, 'A' from Gruneberg in 1945 at F34 (a CBA
substrain, J.R. Morton, unpublished communication). Various alleles introduced
by M.E.Wallace by backcrossing and maintained mainly by sib-mated substrain
until 1959, then backcrossing to a single
Ay/a
substrain, then
Ay/ae
substrain. Non-sibmating in a very small stock for 23 generations.
Stock now frozen except for close inbreeding of
Aw,
at and
ae
. Maint. by Cam.
