The coronary arteries of the C57BL/6 mouse strains: implications for comparison with mutant models
6 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
There are few detailed descriptions of the coronary arterial patterns in the mouse. Some recent reports on coronary anomalies in mutant mouse models have uncovered the importance of several genes (i.e. iv and connexin43) in coronary morphogenesis. These mutations spontaneously appeared (iv) or were generated (connexin43) in a C57BL/6 background, which is widely used for the development of mutant mice. We have...
