of Mice: BOB
Inbr: F92. Albino. Genet:
a, c, rd. Strain developed after 1945
from random-bred mice of unknown origin at Brown University.
Characteristics
Small spinal cord (22/25) (
Roderick et al.,
1973., 1973). High lymphocyte phytohaemagglutinin response (6/43)
(
Heiniger et al., 1975., 1975). Develops
leukaemia on infection by Friend virus (cf. 5/11) (
