“…In our study, the IL‐10 −/– mice, which were of a mixed genetic background C57BL/6 × 129/Ola, were inbred (brother × sister) for greater than 20 generations in order to achieve maximum genetic similarity. Thus it is unlikely that genetic background impacted on the severity of colitis [30]. Examination of the association between the age of the mice and colitis development showed that in mice between 8 to 20 weeks, the histologic scores were not significantly different.…”

“…Sibling matings over many generations produce strains of rodents where individuals can be regarded as being homozygous and syngeneic-tissue can be transplanted between individuals of such strains without risk of rejection, as it can only be between identical twins in humans. Festing (1986) has contended that, because of enhanced reproducibility, syngeneic strains should be used more widely: 'one of the basic assumptions of science is that experiments should be reproducible' (Festing, 1979). The danger is that if such strains are indeed a single genotype then one is effectively testing an individual response and thus possible idiosyncratic reactions may apply to whole strains.…”

“…Por esta razão, os primeiros esforços, para a realização do presente trabalho, foram no sentido de assegurar a qualidade genética dos animais, certificando-os de forma a se descartar contaminantes de quaisquer gênese, que pudessem inviabilizar o seu uso. Os testes empregados são tradicionalmente utilizados em centros de referência que produzem animais certificados (Festing, 1987).…”

“…Este procedimento possibilitou que uma população, altamente resistente a esta cepa de parasita, fosse isolada, excluindo-se indivíduos que apresentavam um fenótipo intermediário de resistência, bem como permitiu a identificação de uma dose discriminatória, definida como sendo a dose, onde ao menos 80% dos animais Esta população de híbridos de 1 a geração tem a característica de ser homogênea, possibilitando um padrão único de resposta, uma vez que cada metade de sua constituição genética corresponde aos parentais isogênicos resistente e susceptível (Beck et al, 2000;Festing, 1987).…”
