 Inbred Generations   Congenic strain was establiesh using a “speed congenic” strategy as N7F1 in 2009. 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). The congenic line was established from DA and MHC-identical PVG.A rats using a speed-congenic approach with marker assisted selection. DA females were mated with male offspring selected from F2 (DAxPVG.A) with heterozygote alleles within chromosome 13 and Eae34 QTL interval and with the lowest PVG.A background contamination using 96 microsatellite markers equally spaced throughout the genome (at 20 centimorgan cM intervals). A breeding pair selected from the N7 generation were crossed for two generations to produce homozygous DA.PVG-Eae34 congenic rats. 
 Strain Characteristics Partial exacerbation of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) compared to the susceptible parental DA strain. 
 Breeding Conditions Good breeding performance.  
 Genotyping Flanking markers inside the congenic fragment: D13Rat105 - D13Rat131. External flanking marker is D13Arb3.
