LIBP/1

Inbr F60 (1993). Origin: Kunming outbred "Swiss" mice obtained from theHaffkin Medical Science Institute to China in 1946. Characterised at 26 loci by Wu et al (1992). High level of delayed hypersensitivity (1/5). Rate of Fc receptor (IgG) positive cells is lower than in C57BL/6, C3H/He or DBA/2. It is relatively sensitive to BCG, B. anthracis, Hantaan virus, Dyssentery bacillus, rabies fixed virus, sarcoma 180, Echerichia's ascites tumour, leukaemia cells L7712 and diabetes. A cross between LIPB/1 and BALB/c produces more and better quality ascites than BALB/c alone (Dr. Ning Lei, personal communication)
