Inbred Strains Of Mice

Sixty-six individual tests on an array of skeletal variants showed an essential absence of parent-offspring correlations in the inbred strains C57BL, A and CBA in the mouse. It is concluded that these strains, and inbred strains of mice in general, are genetically homogeneous except for the differentiation of genetically distinct sublines as the result of mutations.

ABSTRACT The degree of genetic divergence which has occurred between a number of inbred strains of mice and between two sublines of inbred rats was assessed by determining the fate of inter-subline skin grafts. Sublines which had been separated for 29 and 42 generations possessed no detectable incompatibility, while three combinations of sublines judged to have been maintained apart for from 123 to 129 generations showed slight degrees of histoincompatibility. One pair of sublines which had been separated for 119 generations demonstrated a marked degree of incompatibility, and an F2 test suggested that mutations had occurred at four or five histocompatibility loci.

Generalized Lymphadenopathy

Several mice with generalized lymphadenopathy were found in the CBA/KlJms (CBA) colony maintained at our institute. A new mutant strain of mice that develop massive lymphoid hyperplasia at 100% incidence within 5 mo after birth was established by crossing these diseased mice. Genetic studies on lymphadenopathy were conducted in F1, F2, and backcross populations from crosses between mutant CBA (CBA-m) and various inbred strains of mice. The results supported the control of lymphadenopathy by a single autosomal recessive gene. Since C3H/He-gld/gld (C3H-gld), MRL/MpJ-lpr/lpr (MRL-lpr), and C3H/HeJ-lpr/lpr (C3H-lpr) mice develop the same type of lymphoid hyperplasia, allelism of the mutant gene with gld or lpr was tested by investigating lymphadenopathy in F1 and backcross populations from crosses between CBA-m and C3H-gld, MRL-lpr, or C3H-lpr mice. The gene was confirmed to be allelic with lpr but not with gld. Interestingly, however, the mutant gene interacted with gld to induce less severe lymphadenopathy. Thus, the mutant gene was named lprcg, an lpr gene complementing gld in induction of lymphoproliferation. The genetic conclusion was supported by the same profile of surface markers of lymphoid cells with gld/gld, lpr/lpr, lprcg/lprcg, lprcg/lpr, and +/gld +/lprcg genotypes, as well as by massive lymph node hyperplasia and high titers of autoantibodies in the first four genotypes, but slight hyperplasia and insignificant autoantibody production in the last. The discovery of lprcg provided strong genetic evidence for the parallels between anomalous phenotypes of gld and lpr, and CBA/KlJms-lprcg/lprcg mice will contribute to elucidation of the mechanism of induction of the same abnormal differentiation and functions of lymphocytes by gld and lpr.
