A/J and C57BL/6J mice behave differently in tests for alcohol preference, open-field activity, defecation in the open field, cricket attacking, and rope climbing. Chimeric mice, i.e., mice containing both A/J cells and C57BL/6J cells, were constructed and tested for these behaviors. Patterns of behavior among A/J in equilibrium with C57BL/6J chimeras are such as to suggest that none of these behavior differences is controlled by a single cell or clone and that the same cell population that gives rise to the strain difference in alcohol preference also gives rise to the differences in open-field activity and defecation, while separate cell populations control cricket killing and rope climbing.
在酒精偏好测试、旷场活动测试、旷场排便测试、攻击蟋蟀测试和爬绳测试中，A/J小鼠和C57BL/6J小鼠的行为表现不同。构建了嵌合小鼠，即同时含有A/J细胞和C57BL/6J细胞的小鼠，并对这些行为进行了测试。与C57BL/6J嵌合体处于平衡状态的A/J小鼠的行为模式表明，这些行为差异中没有一种是由单个细胞或克隆控制的，导致酒精偏好品系差异的同一细胞群体也导致了旷场活动和排便的差异，而不同的细胞群体控制着蟋蟀捕杀和爬绳行为。
