| Abstract | C57BL/6J-XYPOS (B6J-XYPOS) mice, which have the Y chromosomederived from Mus musculus poschiavinus on a B6J genetic background, formovotestes or ovaries. Previously, we replaced the genetic background ofB6J-XYPOS mice with B6N and found that individuals with testes also appearedin addition to those with ovaries or ovotestes. To investigate the effect of the B6Jgenetic sequence on the testis differentiation, the genetic background ofB6N-XYPOS mice was replaced with B6J again. The recovery of the B6J geneticbackground significantly decreased the incidence of testes; only ovaries developed. Theseresults indicate that the testicular differentiation process tends to be perturbedespecially in the B6J substrain. This shows the importance of substrain differences inmice usually treated as B6 collectively. |
