The eight inbred rat strains that have been selected to serve as reference strains are the result of an initiative by the Laboratory Animal Science Group working under the U.S.—Japan Non-Energy Research and Development Cooperative Agreement. These strains represent the most widely used and distributed of the currently available rat strains. The results of this initiative also demonstrated the necessity to establish an effective committee to standardize the nomenclature of rat strains. Efforts are underway to establish such a committee.
