Inbred Strains
of Mice: SSL
Inbr (Le) 60. White spotted, heavy spotting or black-eyed white depending
on genotype:
a, s/s or
s/sl,
or
sl/sl.
Origin: Developed by Le.
sl arose
in the F2 from a cross of C3H/HeSn x C57BL/6J. b x s to F18. In 1968 outcrossed
to
a/a, s/s stock (F19) and maintained by sib mating
of
s/sl to present. The
s
gene came from a multiple recessive stock of Holman to Runner before
1955. Outcrossed to C57BL/6J and b x s to F19. In 1968 crossed to a
a/a
hr+/+sl to make
s/sl.
sl/sl
get megacolon and generally die though a few live to breed. Maint. by
Le.
