Inbred Strains of Mice: P
P/AInbr: 91. Origin: P. Kortweg 1934; DBA female x C57BL male, then N20 to C57BL, then b x s inbred.
P/JInbr: F153. Pink-eyed fawn. Genet:
a, b, d, p, rd, se.Origin: Snell from a cross involving strain BDP. Carries the pink-eyed dilution gene,
p, which is derived from Asian mice of the
Mus musculustype (see also strains SJL, 129/J and FS/Ei) (
Brilliant et al, 1994)
CharacteristicsLymphatic leukaemia 22% in males and 29% in breeding, and 58% in virgin females. Primary lung tumours zero in males and 3% in females (
Hoag, 1963). Life-span short (3/22 = 384 days in males and 8/22 = 510 days in females) in conventional conditions (
Storer, 1966). Low metabolic rate (15/18) (
Storer, 1967). High serum ceruloplasmin levels in females (4/27) (
Meier and MacPike, 1968). High susceptibility to audiogenic and electroconvulsive seizures (1/6) (
Deckard et al., 1976., 1976). Large brain weight (15/18 in males, 14/18 in females) (
Storer, 1967). Large brain/body weight ratio (1/20) and large spinal cord (2/25) (
Roderick et al., 1973., 1973). Resistant to X-irradiation (5/27) (
Roderick, 1963). Short survival in 90% oxygen (3/10) (
Lieberman and Kellog, 1967). Low lymphocyte phytohaemagglutinin response (37/43) (
Heiniger et al., 1975., 1975). Intermediate breeding performance (15/24) (
Hansen et al., 1973., 1973).
High degree of genetic distinctiveness (8/27) (Taylor, 1972). Susceptible to colon carcinogenesis by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (cf. 3/7) (Evans et al., 1977., 1977).
