[A recessive mutant causing testicular/ovarian teratoma in rats (Tera strain)].
A hereditary testicular/ovarian teratoma strain (Tera) of rats was developed from the Csk: Wistar-Imamichi strain. As the teratoma consisted of tridermic tissues such as bone, epithelium and neural tissue, it was diagnosed as triphyllomatous teratoma. The frequency of the teratoma was about 25% in either sex, with no sexual difference. Accordingly, the heredity of the teratoma appeared to be an autosomal single recessive trait (symbol, tera).
