B6C3F1 Hybrid Mouse Model
This model is a custom hybrid and is produced upon customer request.

This model is impacted by a newly discovered spontaneous mutation in the Thyroglobulin (Tg) gene. It will be removed over time through selective breeding. See the Fact Sheet for more information.

  • Nomenclature
  • B6C3F1-F
    B6C3F1/Tac
  • B6C3F1-M
    B6C3F1/Tac
  • Has genetic and phenotypic uniformity and accepts transplants of tissue (tumors, ovaries, skin) from mice of either parental strain
  • Used in multiple research applications such as toxicology and as embryo donors in transgenic research
Orders by weight: Taconic cannot accept orders by weight for this model.

Origin:

The B6C3F1 hybrid model is developed by intercrossing C57BL/6NTac female mice to C3H/HeNTac male mice from Taconic US's commercial colonies.

Availability:

This model is a custom hybrid and is produced upon customer request.

Genetics:

For genetic comparisons and pertinent data, refer to “Genetics” for the parent strains of this hybrid. The B6C3F1 will be heterozygous at the loci where the C57BL/6 and the C3H differ, and homozygous at the loci where they are the same.

Color:

Black Agouti

Species:

Mouse
