Diseases
    Neoplastic (Spontaneous):
 
  • Very low mammary tumor incidence. (680)
   
    Neoplastic (Induced):
 
  • In comparison with other inbred strains, C57BL/10 is resistant to Gross, Bittner, Friend S and B viruses, and relatively resistant to Tennant virus. (370)
   
    Non-Neoplastic (Induced):
 
  • Relatively resistant to induction of cleft palate by cortisone. (067)
   
Other Characteristics
    Immunologic:
 
  • Macrophages from BDG-infected, LPS-unresponsive C57BL/10ScCR mice were not tumoricidal in vitro, but cells from BCG-infected LPS-responsive C57BL/10Sn from Jackson lab were. (608)
  • High interferon serum levels after induction by Newcastle disease virus. (696)
   
    Physiologic:
 
  • High resting plasma steroid levels, and responds to acute stress by prolonged elevation. (398)
 
    Behavioral:
 
  • High preference for ethanol and for morphine presented in a saccharine vehicle. (794)
