Strain description

  • MHC Haplotype RT1c
  • Animals are docile and has very good breeding performance.
  • Popular inbred for general use as low activity relative to other strains.
  • Resistant to experimental allergic encephalomyelitis and the induction of autoimmune thyroiditis.
  • Useful model for development of autoimmune thyroiditis and diabetes due to insulitis following thymectomy and sublethal x-irradiation.
  • Originally inbred by Glaxo, UK (1946) from stock originating from King College of Household Science to Lister Institute, to Virol to Glaxo (P = Piebald, V = Virol, G = Glaxo, C = ARC Compton where a recognised subline developed). CSIRO from Glaxo, UK.
  • To Murdoch University from John Curtin School of Medical Research, Canberra, Australia as F13+ (1976). JCSMR from CSIRO, NSW Australia as F20 (1970).
  • Animal Resource Centre (ARC), Western Australia received stock strain from Murdoch University, Perth, Australia as F12 (1981). Caesarean derived to SPF status (1981).
  • Strain is transferred to Ozgene ARC in 2023.
  • Application: Useful model for development of autoimmune thyroiditis and diabetes due to insulitis following thymectomy and sublethal x-irradiation.
