Karyotype of NIH, C57BL/6 and Razi strains of laboratory mice (Mus musculus)
The laboratory mouse is recognized as the pre-eminent model for genetic research. Awareness of chromosomal patterns of experimental animals increases their value for a variety of different fields of study. We aimed to study mitotic chromosome preparations from NIH, C57BL/6 and Razi strains of mice, which are outbred, inbred and partially inbred laboratory mice respectively. Bone marrow cells we...
متن کاملStrain-dependent differences in LTP and hippocampus-dependent memory in inbred mice.
Many studies have used "reverse" genetics to produce "knock-out" and transgenic mice to explore the roles of various molecules in long-term potentiation (LTP) and spatial memory. The existence of a variety of inbred strains of mice provides an additional way of exploring the genetic bases of learning and memory. We examined behavioral memory and LTP expression in area CA1 of hippocampal slices ...
متن کاملComparison of the Response of Male BALB/c and C57BL/6 Mice in Behavioral Tasks to Evaluate Cognitive Function
To evaluate several cognitive parameters during the execution of behavioral tasks assessing cognitive function in laboratory animals, the parameters are reported within a range. This situation entails that each laboratory must establish the conditions under which the behavioral task to evaluate the cognitive function can be carried out. C57BL/6 and BALB/c inbred strains are used more often in b...
متن کاملEvaluation of different strain mice during in vitro fertilization and embryo development in response to superovulation
Background: Mice are the most commonly used animal in reproductive research and following the urgent need for these type of studies and also due to the increased interest in the ethical principle of animal rights, four various inbred and outbred strains of the laboratory mouse were evaluated to select the more efficient one for reproductive research. Materials and methods: 60 female and 16 mal...
متن کاملHippocampal commissure defects in crosses of four inbred mouse strains with absent corpus callosum.
It is known that four common inbred mouse strains show defects of the forebrain commissures. The BALB/cJ strain has a low frequency of abnormally small corpus callosum, whereas the 129 strains have many animals with deficient corpus callosum. The I/LnJ and BTBR T+ tf/J strains never have a corpus callosum, whereas half of I/LnJ and almost all BTBR show severely reduced size of the hippocampal c...
