| Genetic information | Genetic selection of MSO-Fast mice based upon their short latency toward seizures induced by injection of a single dose of 75 mg/kg methionine sulfoximine. The selection was performed on genetic random crosses of eight inbred mouse strains: ABP/Le, A/J, BALB/c, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, CBA/H, DBA/2J and SWXL-4. |
| Phenotypic information | MSO-Fast line is characterized by 1) a short latency and a high susceptibility toward seizures upon injection of methionine sulfoximine; 2) susceptibility to kainic acid and MK-801; 3) no increase in brain glycogen content induced by methionine sulfoximine; 4) involvement of 5-HT in seizures and brain glycogen content. This line has its counterpart as the MSO-Slow mice. |
| Breeding history | Random crosses of eight inbred mouse strains: ABP/Le, A/J, BALB/c, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, CBA/H, DBA/2J and SWXL-4 to generate G1. G1 was challenged by a single ip injection of 75 mg/kg methionine sulfoximine and selected upon latency methionine sulfoximine induced seizures. Mice having the shortest latency were inter-crossed without brother-sister crosses. This challenge was repeated for 10 generations, reaching the point where the phenotype was considered as fixed. Then crossing sisters with brothers for 9 generations to perform inbreeding. |
