Detailed description

This C3H congenic strain carries the H2^j haplotype from the JK/StSn strain.

Development

This is a “Congenic Resistant” strain of mice developed by George D. Snell with Marianna Cherry in their studies of histocompatibility. [Snell, G.D. 1978. In Origins of Inbred Mice (H.C. Morse III, ed.). Academic Press, New York.]

The strain was backcrossed the equivalent of 8 generations to C3H/HeDiSn before being maintained by sib matings. Embryos were cryopreserved in 1990, 1998, and 2006.
