title: Genetic similarities and differences between sublines of certain inbred strains of mice held within Australia.
abstract: Inbred mice  of the strains C57B1/6, CBA, C3H, Balb/c and DBA/2 from a total of 17 different sources within Australia were compared, utilizing 12 different blood proteins and a morphometric analysis of a series of lower jaws. Evidence for genetic differentiation between sublines was found in only two cases. Evidence for the recent contamination of an inbred strain with another stock was found in one case.
