MGI - Inbred Strains: STS

Inbred Strains of Mice: STS

STS

Inbr (A) 100. Albino:

c.

Origin: Muhlbock, from albino mice from the Hyg. Inst. Zurich in 1955.

Characteristics

In contrast with five other strains, STS is resistant to mammary tumour induction by hypophysial isografts (

van der Gugten et al 1985

). No mammary tumours but lung tumours in both sexes; closely related to LIS/A and LTS/A. Leukosis 8% (

Hilgers and Galesloot, 1973

). High preference for sweet tasting substances (saccharin, sucrose, dulcin and acesulfame, averaged) (3/26) (

Lush 1988

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

Nishikawa et al 1991

). Higher proliferative response in the mixed lymphocyte culture than BALB/c when tested with cells from eleven other mouse strains with 10 MHC types (

Holan et al, 1996
