Inbred Strains of Mice: KE

KE

Inbr:F94 (Kw). Genet:

a, b, c, P.

Origin: Krzanowska 1952, from mice of unknown origin; cross also produced KP.

Characteristics

Mean litter size 6.1; low percentage of fertilised ova. 17.6% of spermatozoa have abnormal heads, the inheritance of this character being connected to the Y chromosome and may be due to a rel. deficiency of androgens (

Bartke and Krzanowska, 1972

). Sperm head shape, the level of sperm abnormalities and fertilizing capacity are determined largely autonomously by genes acting in the germ cells. (
