Inbred Strains
of Mice: 101
INBRED STRAINS AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS
Inbr: 66. Genet: Aw . Origin: Dunn,
1936.
Characteristics
Low mammary tumour incidence; slow to breed, fertility moderate; high susceptibility
to skin and lung tumour induction. Low metabolic rate (6/6) (
Pennycuik,
1967). Resistant to
Mycobacterium marinum (1/9) (
Shepard and Habas, 1967). Unusual backward locomotion
observed in 101/HY, somewhat similar to the hot-foot neurological mutation
(
Poletaeva et al 1992). Maint. by H.
Pennycuik P.
R. (1967) A comparison of the effects of a variety of factors on the metabolic
rate of the mouse. Aust. J. Biol. Med. Sci. 45, 331-346.
