摘要
C57BL/6 mice are widely used in biomedical research for the background of genetically engineered mice (GEM) and wild-type controls With the belief that the genetic background of GEM and control mice differ significantly by only one or more altered genes. This principle, however, does have limitations due in part to the existence of multiple substrains of C57BL/6 mice that should not be used interchangeably as they can differ both genetically and phenotypically. We show here that these mispairings do occur frequently and can lead to inaccurate and conflicting findings.
