ABSTRACT

This paper presents a list of inbred strains of mice with theirorigins and characteristics, and a list of standard subline designations.

INTRODUCTION

Previous listings of Standardized Nomenclature for InbredStrains of Mice appeared in Cancer Research in 1952, 1960,1964,1968,1972,1976, and 1980 (5). Between issues, additionsand deletions to strain holdings appear in Mouse News Letter (4)and Inbred Strains of Mice (3).

Most fostered and otherwise manipulated lines, named geneson inbred backgrounds, and congenie histocompatibility strainshave been omitted, to keep the list to a manageable size. Listsof congenie and segregating inbred strains and recombinantinbred strains can be found in two new publications (1,2). Sincecomprehensive revised rules for nomenclature of strains, genes,and chromosome anomalies are presented in both these books,they are not included here.

Appendix 1 is the list of inbred strains and some clearly definedsubstrains. It contains 233 entries, compared with 299 in theseventh listing and 124 in the first. Several strains have beendropped since the seventh listing, either because they are known

tested (D. A. Blizard and R. Welty, J. Comp.Physiol. Psychol., 77:337,1971). Resistantto Leishmania infection (D. J. Bradley, Clin.Exp. Immunol., 30: 130, 1977); most susceptible to Sendai virus of 19 strains tested(J. C. Parker er a/., Infect. Immun., 19:123,1978). 129/J is this subline. Maintained by:Dt, J, Kun, Ola, Ori, Rk, Rl, Sv, Y.

Inbr (Sv): N8 F45. Genet: Aw c+ p+. Origin:

derived from 129/Sv-lV C P, which was

developed to determine the effect that thegene W+ might have on teratocarcinogene-

sis (none detectable). Wf+ animals wererepeatedly backcrossed to 129. A W/+ 9 ofgen. N8 produced 38 male offspring ofwhich 8 had testicular teratomas. All 129/ter mice are descended from that mating.Charac: about 30% incidence of spontaneous congenital testicular teratomas, appearing between the 12th and 13th day ofgestation. Tumors may occur on either sideor both and may contain tissues derivedfrom all germ layers; rarely metastasize (L.C. Stevens, J. Nati. Cancer Inst., 50: 235,1973).

Mammary tumorincidence in multiparous mice is 14.3%; pulmonary adenoma and leukemia within 18months are 36.7% and 5.8%, respectively;22 transplantable tumor lines have beenestablished from this strain. These tumorstrains can be used for screening of anti-

cancer drugs, studying tumor immunology,and mechanism of tumor formation. Maintained by: Lab. Exp. Anim., Inst. Hematol-

Recommended abbreviations for widely used strains; in allcases the full strain designations should always be given in eitherthe Introduction or the Materials and Methods section of anypaper; e.g., ". ..C57BL/6J x DBA/2JF, (hereafter calledB6D2F,)..." In hybrid designations, the female parent should be

listed first.STRAIN ABBREVIATION
