    B6D2F1/Tac

  • Has genetic and phenotypic uniformity and accepts transplants of tissue (tumor, ovaries, skin) from mice of either parental strain
  • Used in a broad area of research applications such as radiation and behavioral research, and bioassays of nutrients, drugs and hormones
  • Often used as embryo donors for microinjection of transgenes

Origin:

The B6D2F1 NIH hybrid model is developed by intercrossing C57BL/6NTac female mice to DBA/2NTac 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 for this hybrid. The B6D2F1 will be heterozygous at the loci where the C57BL/6 and the DBA/2 differ, and homozygous at the loci where they are the same.

Color:

Black

Species:

Mouse
