Mouse Strain information
APB ID 7608
Added 28/02/2014
Last Edited 09/06/2014
Strain nomenclature: BALB/c-H2b/AnuApb
Nickname: BALB/b
Genetics
Strain Types Congenic
Genetic Details Congenic
Mode of Inheritance Recessive
1.  Affected Congenic Gene Name: histocompatibility-2, MHC  
Mutant Construction Technique None
Chromosome Location (cM) (MGI) 23.0 cM, cytoband B-C
Phenotype
Phenotype Homozygous State Balb/c is usually H2d. The H2 complex contains 3 major classes of highly polymorphic gene sets: class I (H2-K, H2-D, Q, H2-T18 genes), class II (H2-I genes), and class III (H2-S genes). These genes are involved in many processes, including graft rejection, immune response, antigen presentation and complement component.
