of Mice: DKI
Inbr: F61. Albino. Genet:
a, c. Strain developed from dd outbred
stock of Central Laboratory of Experimental Animals. Inbreeding started
by B. Kitasato in 1953.
Characteristics

Salmonella enteritidis. A congenic strain in which
the gene for resistance found in C3H/He has been backcrossed to DKI has
beendeveloped (
Kishimoto, 1972).
