Mice congenic for a locus that determines phenotype in the neuroma model of neuropathic pain.

Abstract excerpt

A common strategy for identifying physiological processes responsible for pain is to compare animal strains that show high versus low pain phenotype. However, this approach yields only weak inference because most strains differ from one another at a large number of genetic loci. We undertook a congenic breeding program aimed at transposing the gene(s) that confers dominant (low) pain phenotype in the neuroma...
