Abstract
A PROGRAMME of routine skin grafting is used at the Laboratory Animals Centre to check the homogeneity of our colonies of inbred mouse strains with respect to histo-compatibility genes. The donor and recipient mice are usually six to eight generations apart. During the transfer of these inbred colonies from conventional buildings to isolated buildings free from pathogens it became necessary to graft between mice separated by two to sixteen generations.
