Reagin synthesis in inbred strains of rats.
Reaginic antibody synthesis after intraperitoneal immunization with ovalbumin in aluminium hydroxide gel (Al(OH)3) has been evaluated in BN, F344 and ACI inbred strains of rats and compared to that in outbred Wistar rats. Regardless of the dose of antigen employed (0.1 mg, 0.01 mg, 0.001 mg), BN inbred and Wistar outbred rats produced comparable ...

Identification of the genetic background of laboratory rats through amplicon-based next-generation sequencing for single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping. [PDF]
Background Laboratory rats, as model animals, have been extensively used in the fields of life science and medicine. It is crucial to routinely monitor the genetic background of laboratory rats. The conventional approach relies on gel electrophoresis and

Cholesterol Response in Inbred Strains of Rats, Rattus norvegicus [PDF]
A hypercholesterolemic diet fed to rats revealed significant interstrain differences in plasma cholesterol levels. Hyperresponding and hyporesponding strains could be distinguished from normoresponding strains within 3 weeks. The increase in plasma cholesterol level was more than 300 mg/100 ml in the hyperresponding strains BN/Cpb, SD/Cpb and WE/Z and ...

Phenotypic Variation in Strength Among Eleven Inbred Strains of Rats
As a first step toward the long-range goal of identifying the genes that determine strength, we subjected 11 inbred strains of rats to three tests of muscular strength. The tests consisted of measuring (1) the force exerted by the rat as it was pulled by the base of the tail off a grid on the pan of a top-loading electronic balance (scale test); (2 ...

A low coefficient of variation in hepatic triglyceride concentration in an inbred rat strain
Background Inbred strains are characterized by less genetic variation, which suggests usefulness of inbred strains for evaluations of various parameters.

Simulated childbirth injuries in an inbred rat strain [PDF]
AbstractAimsVaginal distension (VD) in outbred rats has been shown to decrease urethral resistance, as well as increase the expression of the stem cell‐homing chemokine, monocyte chemotactic factor 3 (MCP‐3), but not stromal derived factor 1 (SDF‐1). The aim of this study was to determine if similar responses are induced by VD in an inbred rat strain ...

Anthrax lethal factor cleaves mouse nlrp1b in both toxin-sensitive and toxin-resistant macrophages. [PDF]
Anthrax lethal factor (LF) is the protease component of anthrax lethal toxin (LT). LT induces pyroptosis in macrophages of certain inbred mouse and rat strains, while macrophages from other inbred strains are resistant to the toxin.

Strain differences in delay discounting using inbred rats [PDF]
A heightened aversion to delayed rewards is associated with substance abuse and numerous other neuropsychiatric disorders. Many of these disorders are heritable, raising the possibility that delay aversion may also have a significant genetic or heritable component.
