Inbred Strains
of Mice: ABP
Inbr: 28. Pink-eyed fawn. Genet:
a, b, bt, p, se, wa1 (waved-1).
Origin: A. B. Griffin to Lane 1968; sib-mated since then.
Characteristics
Useful for linkage testing. More reactive in an open-field than C57BL/6
(
Clement et al, 1995). Used in studies
of anxiety-related behaviour and its association with serotonergic receptors
(
Clement et al, 1996, 1997).
