This congenic strain was established by backcrossing ACI.F344-(D16Rat12-D16Mco2) onto ACI/N, followed by intercrossing in N6 generation, thereafter maintained by sib mating. (Jul 7, 2009) Strain characteristics ACF formation induced by feeding 2-weeks PhIP-containing diet and 4-weeks high-fat diet is higher in this congenic strain than that in ACI/N strain.
