I don't think this little statement is necessary. It also sounds unprofessional. I'm taking it out for now. BigSciZot 19:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Should become part of a "laboritory mouse strains" article

but it's such a common one it does possible deserve it's own page, it would be really usefull tro have articles on each of the popular lab strains

[edit] Should remain independent article

B6 is one of the most commonly used inbred strains, used all over the world. The article could easily be expanded (but I don't have the time for that). Crusio

Very common lab strain, I spent 6 weeks tending these little bastards and I developed a fondness for this strain in particular. Very much cuter than C5 mice and less skittish. Little whitish tufts of fur behind the ears and at tip of the tail, very jumpy at 2 weeks and pretty decent climbing ability. Raised in a lab/breeding facility they are rather docile and not difficult to catch should one get loose. 24.126.102.48 (talk) 04:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] C57BL/6 as a "Th1 responder" and Response to diseases

I feel that these sections are not at the right place here. Why highlight the Th1 and Plasmodium sensitivity characters out of the hundreds and hundreds that have been studied in these mice? If this material is important, it should be moved to other articles, but I think it should be deleted here. --Crusio (talk) 17:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
