This congenic strain was established by backcrossing ACI.F344-(D16Rat12-D16Mco2) onto ACI/N, followed by intercrossing in N9 generation, thereafter maintained by crossing homozygous individuals. (Jul 7, 2009) Strain characteristics This congenic strain appears unilateral renal agenesis in 10-20% as shown in ACI/N.
