CXB-

Inbr (By) 91. Set of seven Recombinant Inbred Strains (CXBD,E,G,H,I,J,K) developed by Bailey from a cross of BALB/c x C57BL/6J. CXBH and CXBK have high and low levels of opiate receptors, respectively (Marek et al 1990, Elmer et al, 1995). Absence of corpus callosum similar to the BALB/c parent in CXBG. This is associated with slow growth of the medial septum subadjacent to the cavum septi. See also strains I/LnJ and BALB/c) (Wahlsten and Bulman-Fleming, 1994). Maint. by By.

CXS-

Set of 14 recombinant inbred strains developed by A from a cross of BALB/cA x STS/A (Hilgers and Arends (1985). Maint. by A.
