| Additional owner | The strain was generated in the laboratory of prof. Karl Tryggvason, who however has not indicated any additional conditions, just acknowledgement. |
| Genetic information | Marcotm1Ktry, same as MarcoTm1Lk. |
| Phenotypic information | Hematopoietic system, immune system. |
| Breeding history | The strain was backcrossed to C57BL/6 (Charles River) 10 generations, then homozygous mice inbred, and N10F3 mice shipped to Finland, where the strain was maintained as homozygotes for several years. Cryopreservation was done using homozygous males and C57BL/6OlaHsd females. |
