Origin
1913: Dr. Bagg maintained an albino mutant mouse (called Bagg Albino). Dr. Little named it BALB.
1923: brother-sister mating was conducted by Dr. McDowell.
1947: it was introduced to the Jackson Laboratory from Dr. Little and supplied as C57BL/6J.
1932: Dr. Snell received the strain at the F36 generation, and it was named BALB/c. Subsequently, many sublines were created, and those
that went to Europe became BALB/cA.
1964: Jackson Laboratory began production and supply as BALB/cByJ based on a strain that was transferred from Dr. Andervont to Dr. Bailey
in 1940.
1973: BALB/cA and BALB/cA-nu (nude mice) were introduced to the National Institute of Genetics from Dr. C.W. Friis (Denmark).
1980: CLEA Japan began production and supply as BALB/cAJcl.
1986: BALB/cBy (F=156) was introduced from Jackson Laboratory, and production and supply as BALB/cByJcl began.
