Modulation of aggression in male mice: influence of group size and cage size [PDF]
Aggression in group-housed male mice is known to be influenced by both cage size and group size. However, the interdependency of these two parameters has not been studied yet. In this study, the level of aggression in groups of three, five, or eight male

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.

Behavioral Profiles of Genetically Selected Aggressive and Nonaggressive Male Wild House Mice in Two Anxiety Tests [PDF]
Artificially selected aggressive (SAL) and non-aggressive (LAL) male house mice were tested in a hexagonal tunnel maze and light–dark preference (LD) box to determine if the bidirectional selection for aggressive behavior leads to a coselection for ...

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 ...
