A.SW-H2^s H2-T18^b/SnJ

Stock number: 000471
Strain synonyms: A.SW
Research areas: Immunology, Inflammation and Autoimmunity Research

Description

This is an H2 congenic strain in which two H2 alleles were transferred from a non-inbred Swiss mouse to the A/WySn strain.

Development

The H2^s haplotype, including H2-T18^b , was transferred by George Snell from a non-inbred Swiss mouse to the A/WySn strain background by 14 generations of backcrossing (Klein 1968, p. 804).
