ABSTRACT to be extinct or because they were not reported. Appendix 2 is a list of standard abbreviations for the names of persons or This paper presents a list of inbred strains of mice with their institutions maintaining inbred strains. The principal use of the origins and characteristics, and a list of standard subline desig symbols is in designating sublines. For example, strain AU/Ss nations. upon transfer from Silvers to The Jackson Laboratory becomes AU/SsJ or AU/J. INTRODUCTION The Committee stresses the importance of using full strain or substrain designations in publications, and also of spelling out Previous listings of Standardized Nomenclature for Inbred the source of the animals. The brief symbol C57, for example, Strains of Mice appeared in Cancer Research in 1952, 1960, could stand for seven or eight different strains. The many differ 1964,1968,1972,1976, and 1980 (5). Between issues, additions ences among substrains emphasize the importance of using full and deletions to strain holdings appear in Mouse News Letter (4) designations. For example, CBA/J carries the gene for retinal and Inbred Strains of Mice (3). degeneration whereas CBA/Ca has the normal alíele;the two Most fostered and otherwise manipulated lines, named genes differ in radiosensitivity, they are not histocompatible, and they on inbred backgrounds, and congenie histocompatibility strains vary in at least five polymorphic loci. We also stress the impor have been omitted, to keep the list to a manageable size. Lists tance of identifying the sex of the parents when listing hybrids. of congenie and segregating inbred strains and recombinant It is customary to list the female first. Thus, C57BL/6J 9 x DBA/ inbred strains can be found in two new publications (1,2). Since 2J a is B6D2F,, and DBA/2J 9 x C57BL/6J a is D2B6F,. comprehensive revised rules for nomenclature of strains, genes, and chromosome anomalies are presented in both these books, REFERENCES they are not included here.
