AB - INBRED strains of mice have been widely used since 1909, and more than 200 distinct strains or sub-strains are now recognized2. In practice, however, although each strain has a unique set of characteristics such as mean life-span, tumour incidence, behaviour, reproductive performance and blood group, different strains may be morphologically indistinguishable. Thus, for example, several of the widely used inbred albino strains cannot easily be told apart from the more common albino randomly bred strains. Unfortunately, although simplified biochemical methods for strain identification have been developed3, they are still too costly and laborious.
