Strain: Iusm:NP

Symbol: Iusm:NP
Strain: NP
Substrain: Iusm
Full Name: alcohol-nonpreferring
RGD ID: 1641873
Citation ID: RRID:RGD_1641873
Ontology ID: RS:0001375
Alleles: Snca
Also Known As: iNP; NP/Iusm
Type: outbred
Available Source: Not Available
Origination: Department of Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana
Description: These were developed at Indiana University for alcohol-preferring behavior through bidirectional selective breeding of Wistar rats from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Washington, DC. A single pair of rats with high preference and another pair with low preference were mated to develop a preference line (Iusm:P, RGD:1641867) and this non-preference line (Iusm:NP).
Last Known Status: Unknown
