mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: all mice on a C57BL/6 inbred background are dead by 3 months of age of unknown causes unlike on an outbred background
• Background Sensitivity: less than 2% of mice on a C57BL/6 inbred background survive at P70 compared to 60% on an outbred background
• 50% of mice on a C57BL/6 inbred background die prior to 1 to 2 weeks of age unlike on outbred backgrounds

growth/size/body
• Background Sensitivity: mice are runted on a C57BL/6 inbred background unlike normal-sized mice on a mixed background containing BALB/c

mortality/aging
• average lifespan is similar to on a mixed background containing ICR

nervous system
• nerve-evoked compound action potentials (CAPs) from the postganglionic trunk in the superior cervical ganglia are smaller than in wild-type mice
• nerve-evoked CAPs are completely blocked by alpha-bungarotoxin unlike in wild-type mice
• most nerve-evoked excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) on sympathetic neurons in the superior cervical ganglia are subthreshold compared to in wild-type mice
• unlike in wild-type mice, nerve evoked EPSPs are blocked by alpha-bungarotoxin
