Inbred Strains of Mice: NFS

NFS

Inbr (N) 57. Albino a,c. As for NFR, but selectively bred for sensitivity to the action of histamine after treatment with

Bordetella pertussis.

Carries an incomplete proviral genome of endogenous mammary tumour virus (MMTV) on the Y chromosome (c.f. 4/10) (

Nishikawa et al 1991

). Susceptible to both acute and chronic cadmium toxicity (contrast BALB/c) (

Abshire and Waalkes, 1994

). A mutant substrain NFS/NJic has a mutation

sld

causing sublingual gland differentiation arrest (

Kojima and Hata, 1988

). When these mice are thymectomised at 3 days of age they develop autoimmune sialadenitis, a model of human Sjogren's disease (

Hayashi et al, 1996

).
