# MAINTENANCE OF A HISTOCOMPATIBILITY MUTANT MOUSE COLONY

> **NIH NIH R01** · NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY · 1989 · $70,347

## Abstract

This project proposes to maintain a colony of mice bearing
histocompatibility gene mutations, particular those of the H-2 complex,
as a resource colony. Incipient mutant strains, currently under
development, will be completed and added to the collection. Strains
maintained will be systematically monitored to maintain their genetic
integrity, by skin grafting and by serological typing. No further large
scale screening by skin grafting, for new mutants will be carried out as
part of this project. however, additional future mutants may be added as
recovered from another separately funded project in which skin grafting
is used to monitor the genetic integrity of the NCI mouse colonies.
