Origin
A male rat "SRR Tustin" was introduced from American fancy rat colony (Spoiled Ratten Rattery: SRR, in Kansas City, Missouri) to Kyoto University on July 13, 2005. Inbreeding started from F1 progeny of male "SRR Tustin" and a female TM/Kyo. (Sep 25, 2009)
Strain characteristics
This strain carries Black eye, Be, and albino mutation, c in the homozygous state. The Be was considered that a single autosomal mutation and manifested dominantly only in the presence of the albino mutation in the homozygous state by breeding experiments (Kuramoto, 2010). (Aug 4, 2010)
Breeding Conditions
Maintained by crossing between homozygous rats for black eye. Good breeding performance. (Sep 25, 2009)
