Coat Color  Agouti
Inbred Generations  Congenic strain was establiesh from the 10th generation advanced intercross line after 8 generations of backcrossing in 2008. Since then, the strain was kept as inbred.

Origin Inbred Dark Agouti (DA) rats were originally obtained from the Zentralinstitut für Versuchstierzucht (Hannover, Germany) and Piebald Virol Glaxo(PVG) rats from Harlan UK Limited (Blackthorn, UK). Animals for congenic breeding were selected from the 10th generation of an advanced intercross line (AIL) originating from the EAE-susceptible DA and EAE-resistant PVG.av1 rat strains. Selected males containing a PVG.av1 fragment in the Eae18b region (from OT24.18 to D10Rat93 marker, at 68.36 Mb and 81.9 Mb, respectively) were backcrossed with DA females for 8 generations, and offspring was genotyped using microsatellite markers in each generation. In the 8th generation, heterozygous males and females were crossed to obtain the experimental population of homozygous congenic rats and littermate controls.
Strain characteristics Protection against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) compared to the susceptible parental DA strain and displays higher CCL11 expression.
Breeding Conditions Good breeding performance.
Genotyping Flanking markers inside the congenic fragment: OT24.18-D10Rat93.
