Inbred Strains
of Mice: BTBRTF
Inbr. F100+?. Black-and-tan, brachyury tufted. Genet:
at,
B, tf, T/+ or
+/+, H2b .
Origin: Dobrovolskaia-Zavadskaia to Dunn who sib-mated at the Nevis Biological
Station, Columbia University. Tufted from Dr. Mary Lyon was backcrossed
onto the strain, followed by further sib mating. To Dorothea Bennett from
1962, then to Karen Artzt. Supports maintenance as a balanced lethal stock
with matings of
T/t x T/t. Has been selected for 50% tail length
of
T/+ heterozygotes. The normal tailed segregant is sometimes
known as BTNTTF. Good breeding performance (Artz personal communication,
July 1997 and Artz et al, 1977).
