BALB/c mice and C57/BL6 mice have different abilities to recover from ischemia. C57/BL6 mice display increased vessel collateralization and vascular endothelial growth factor expression with a consequent rapid recovery from ischemia compared with BALB/c mice. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are one of the main cell types that contribute to the recovery from ischemia because, among their biological activities, they produce several proangiogenic paracrine factors and differentiate into endothelial cells.
The CD-1 IGS mice are generally used for genetics, toxicology, pharmacology, … selecting either CD-1 IGS or C57/BL6 mouse primary cells for your studies.
C57BL/6 mice is an inbred mouse strain originally developed for the study of antitumor activity and immunology, and is increasingly being used as an basic background strain. It is known that cell-mediated immunity and NK cell activity are of relatively high importance in determining immunological characteristics.
Colony health testing is performed according to FELASA recommendations.
