Male mice from the C3.SW-H2b/SnJ congenic strain are predisposed to maturity-onset impairment of glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinemia with some mice exhibiting hyperglycemia, and they are susceptible to the diabetogenic effects of multiple low doses of streptozotocin. In addition these mice have been used in many different immunological studies.

Male mice from the C3.SW-H2b/SnJ congenic strain are predisposed to maturity-onset impairment of glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinemia with some mice exhibiting hyperglycemia. Symptoms occur much later, between 5 and 8 months of age, than most of the single gene obese and diabetic strains. In addition, male mice are susceptible to the diabetogenic effects of multiple low doses of streptozotocin (40 mg/kg BW.day X 5).
This strain was created, beginning in 1948, by George Snell by transferring the H2b haplotype from a mouse of an outbred Swiss stock onto the C3H/HeDiSn inbred strain by 11 rounds of backcross-intercross breeding (Snell 1958).

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
