The goals of this research were to find out if the antibody response and some behaviors are differential traits for murine strains C57BL/6 and BALB/c and to study the influence of strain and isolation on both behavior and the antibody response. 21 C57BL/6 male mice and 28 BALB/c male mice were used; of those, 11 C57BL/6 and 16 BALB/c were kept isolated, and the remaining mice were housed 2 per cage. The tests were Open-fields 1, 2, and 3 (of varying light and sound stimulation), holeboard, light-darkness test, immunization with rat erythrocytes; in addition, the mice were weighed. The traits that best differentiated both strains (according to discriminant analysis) were weight, IgM primary response, and emotional behavior (ambulation, rearing, and defecation in stimulating open-fields). Social isolation (of adult mice) influenced emotional behavior, but not the antibody response.
本研究的目的是确定抗体反应和某些行为是否是小鼠品系C57BL/6和BALB/c的差异性状,并研究品系和隔离对行为及抗体反应的影响。使用了21只C57BL/6雄性小鼠和28只BALB/c雄性小鼠;其中,11只C57BL/6和16只BALB/c保持隔离状态,其余小鼠每笼饲养2只。测试包括开放场1、2和3(不同的光照和声音刺激)、洞板试验、明暗试验、用大鼠红细胞进行免疫;此外,还对小鼠进行了称重。(根据判别分析)最能区分这两个品系的性状是体重、IgM初次反应以及情绪行为(在刺激开放场中的走动、竖毛和排便)。(成年小鼠的)社会隔离影响情绪行为,但不影响抗体反应。
