Inbred Strains
of Mice: KSN
Inbr (Kuj) F39+23 (June 1995). Albino. Genet.
c nu. Origin:
A female nude mouse with good nursing ability and her litter mate obtained
during the development of a DDD/1-nu/+ congenic strain, with the nude
gene originating from a BALB/c-nu strain (
Sudo
and Suzuki, 1987, Sudo et al, 1989).
Congenic strains carrying beige (
bg), X-linked immune deficiency
(
xid) and both these have also been developed (
Ishigaki et al, 1996).
