Swiss Webster - Outbred Mouse Model
Origin: Taconic received the Swiss Webster outbred model from the Rockefeller Institute through Rockland Farms, Inc. in 1940. The mice have been maintained as a closed colony since 1951. The mice were derived by caesarean from randomly chosen breeders and reintroduced into a Barrier Nucleus Expansion Colony in 1965-1969. The mice were derived by caesarean in 1983 from randomly chosen breeders from all Taconic`s barrier units.
