Description of our model and application areas

These F1 hybrids are the result of a cross between a C57BL/6JRj female and a DBA/2JRj male. F1 hybrids are heterozygous for B6 and D2 alleles at every locus (provided that the parental strains have different alleles).

It is often used as genetic background for the creation of transgenic, knock-out and harmful phenotype models.

It is also used in behavioural studies, radiation, safety and efficacy testing for nutrients, medicine, pathogens or hormones.
