Targeting on susceptible gene for colon tumor on rat chromosome 16 (Nakagama, 1999), this congenic strain was established by backcrossing F344/Jcl, as a donor strain, and ACI/NJcl, as a recipient strain. (Jul 7, 2009) Strain characteristics This congenic strain has almost the same characterization as shown in ACI/N. (Jul 7, 2009) Breeding Conditions Good breeding performance.
