Characteristics

Low mammary tumour incidence in females, high lung tumour in both sexes. As is BALB/c, this strain is susceptible to both C3H mammary tumour virus and GRS mammary tumour virus. Very similar to GRS/A: of over 50 genetic markers, only two are different. Leukosis 22% (Hilgers and Galesloot, 1973).
