What Does This Nomenclature Mean?
Strain #:100003
RRID:IMSR_JAX:100003
These F1 (first filial generation) hybrid mice are the offspring of a cross between BALB/cJ females (C) and A/J males (A). Uses include hybrid vigor, as a background for deleterious mutations, to create or enhance expression of polygenic diseases, to determine the mode of inheritance, and to provide physiological buffering (present a broader array of responses to various stresses).

These F1 (first filial generation) hybrid mice are the offspring of a cross between BALB/cJ females (C) and A/J males (A). F1 hybrid mice are heterozygous at all loci (assuming the parental strains have different alleles), and like inbred mice they are genetically and phenotypically uniform. F1 hybrids are often used for hybrid vigor, as a background for some deleterious mutations, for tissue transplantation, to determine the mode of inheritance, to create or enhance expression of polygenic diseases, and to provide physiological buffering (present a broader array of responses to various stresses).

Payment Terms and Conditions
Terms are granted by individual review and stated on the customer invoice(s) and account statement. These transactions are payable in U.S. currency within the granted terms. Payment for services, products, shipping containers, and shipping costs that are rendered are expected within the payment terms indicated on the invoice or stated by contract. Invoices and account balances in arrears of stated terms may result in The Jackson Laboratory pursuing collection activities including but not limited to outside agencies and court filings.
The Jackson Laboratory's Genotyping Promise
The Jackson Laboratory ensures the genetic quality and genotyping of JAX® Mice strains before making them available to researchers. However, phenotypes may vary due to environmental conditions and may not be fully characterized. Phenotype descriptions are based on published data, and JAX does not guarantee phenotype or breeding performance.
To ensure JAX® Mice meet your research needs, we recommend:
- Genotyping mutant mice upon arrival.
- Performing pilot experiments on a small number of mice.
- Ordering more than one breeding pair to establish your colony and avoid delays.
