MeSH definition : One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used
as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this
strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development
of diseases.;
MeSH annotation : NIM when exper animal: no qualif; when IM, qualif permitted; do not forget also to
check tag MICE; NIM with no qualifiers when experimental animal;
