Quantitative Trait Loci That Determine BMD in C57BL/6J and 129S1/SvImJ Inbred Mice [PDF]
Abstract BMD is highly heritable; however, little is known about the genes. To identify loci controlling BMD, we conducted a QTL analysis in a (B6 × 129) F2 population of mice. We report on additional QTLs and also narrow one QTL by combining the data from multiple crosses and through haplotype analysis.

Anxiety-related behaviour in C57BL/6?BALB/c chimeric mice. [PDF]
In a previous study on anxiety-related behaviours of the genetically and behaviourally distant inbred mouse strains C57BL/6 and BALB/c using the Elevated plus-maze (EPM) and Open-field (OF) apparatuses, we identified a number of variables, the factorial ...

Evaluation of an outbred mouse model for Francisella tularensis vaccine development and testing.
Francisella tularensis (Ft) is a biothreat agent for which there is no FDA-approved human vaccine. Currently, there are substantial efforts underway to develop both vaccines and the tools to assess these vaccines.

Responses to ethanol in C57BL/6 versus C57BL/6 × 129 hybrid mice [PDF]
Although genetic background alters responses to ethanol, there has not yet been a methodical quantification of differences in ethanol-related behaviors between inbred and hybrid mice commonly used in gene-targeting studies. Here, we compared C57BL/6NTac ×

Persistence of Leishmania antigen in C57Bl/6j inbred mice infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis [PDF]
To develop an animal model for studying mucocutaneous leishmaniasis.The hind footpad of C57Bl/6j inbred mice was experimentally infected with 10(7) Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis promastigote and the skin was studied through light and electron transmission microscopy and immunohistochemistry (PAP) techniques.There were morphological evidences of ...

Genetic polymorphisms among C57BL/6 mouse inbred strains [PDF]
Mice from the inbred C57BL/6 strain have been commonly used for the generation and analysis of transgenic and knockout animal models. However, several C57BL/6 substrains exist, and these are genetically and phenotypically different.
