Abstract
THE Medical Research Council Radiobiology Unit at Harwell recently developed a strain of CBA mice containing the T6 marker chromosomes3,4. They kindly sent a breeding unit to the Chester Beatty Research Institute. This communication concerns a short series of experiments involving descendants of these (CBA/T6T6) mice and the Chester Beatty CBA. The purpose of the experiments was, first, to define the immunological relationship between the strains ; secondly, to describe the conditions under which chimerism could be established between them; thirdly, to investigate the extent and stability of this chimeric state.
