Gene Affected
Origin This double congenic strain was established as a strain with the genetic background of WKY onto which a segment from the BUF/Mna containing the thymus enlargement, Ten1 (on chr.1) and Ten2 (on chr. 13) has been transferred (Murakumo, 1996; Ye, 2000). Please refer to NBRP No.0200 BUF/Mna. (Oct 12, 2010)
Strain characteristics There is no data about thymus enlargement.
Breeding Conditions Sib mating.
