Toxicity testing and genetic quality control.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic background of animals plays a major role in the outcome of toxicity tests. The use animals with a defined and standardized genetic variation as opposed to animals from an outbred strain may improve the quality of the tests and may reduce the numbers of animals to be used. In order to achieve this, animals from distantly related inbred strain (and their F1 hybrids) should be matched up in test and...
