Animal Production Program

  01S30 SJL/N

Origin: To N 1969 from Herberman as penbred stock, then brother-sister mated. Developed from Swiss-Webster stock brought to Jackson Lab between 1938 and 1943. Penbred until 1955 when brother-sister matings started.

Diseases
    Neoplastic (Spontaneous):
 
  • Reticulum cell sarcoma in 70-80% of males and females over 1 year of age; multicellular type B neoplasms resemble Hodgkin’s disease. As neoplasms develop, YG1 and YG2 paraproteinemia appear. (247,773)
   
    Neoplastic (Induced):
 
  • In comparison with other inbred strains, SJL is susceptible to Friend S and B viruses. (370)
  • Urethane only slightly leukemogenic, but 7, 12-dimethylbenzanthracene increased lymphocytic neoplasms from 2% to 83% in young mice. (159,247)
   
Other Characteristics
    Immunologic:
 
  • Neither of 2 leukemia-specific cellular antigens, G (Gross) or TL (thymus-leukemia) were detected. (159)
  • Only 5% of normal amount of λ light chains synthesized in serum immunoglobulins. In contrast to other strains with Ig-1b allotype, SJL expresses only traces of NPb idiotype in their anti-NP antibodies, the L chains of which are almost exclusively of the chi type; hybridization studies indicated that this failure was due to the λ low phenotype. (325)
  • Responsive to pertussis HSF. (778,500)
   
    Misc:
 
  • High resistance to whole body X-irradiation. (502)
