Balb/c - derived from albino mice stocks originally disseminated by bagg (1913) to snell in 1932 that has an albino coat with genotype a,b,c. The balb/c mouse develops plasmacytomas upon injection with mineral oil, which form the mouse cell component of the mouse human hybrid cells that are used in the production of monoclonal antibodies. This strain exhibits excellent breeding performance and a long life span which contribute to its being one of the most highly utilized of all available mouse strains.
