CByB6F1-Tg(HRAS)2Jic mice (brand name: rasH2 mouse) are produced by two breeding facilities, CLEA Japan, Inc. (Fuji, Shizuoka, Japan) and Taconic (Germantown, NY, USA), and supplied world wide. To confirm carcinogenic conformity of both mice, a 26-week carcinogenicity test was performed on a total of 120 mice obtained from both facilities under the same protocol and same timing in our facility. All mice were divided into a vehicle (citrate buffer at pH 4.5, 10 ml/kg, single intraperitoneal injection) group and a MNU (N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, 75 mg/kg, single intraperitoneal injection) group. Fifteen mice of each sex were assigned to each group. The survival rate of the vehicle group was maintained at 100% for mice from both facilities at completion of the test. In the MNU group, MNU-induced tumor death occurred from 9 to 12 weeks after administration, and the final survival rate for both facilities was 6.7%. In the pathological examination, only benign tumors of lungs, spleen, forestomach and skin were observed in a few mice in the vehicle group of both facilities. In the MNU group, the incidence of forestomach papilloma/squamous cell carcinoma in mice from both facilities was 100%. The incidences of malignant lymphoma in CLEA Japan mice and Taconic mice were 86.7% and 93.3%, respectively, and no significant difference was observed (Fisher's exact probability test). Although lung adenoma and skin papilloma/keratoacanthoma, which are major MNU induced tumors in this strain, were observed in several mice from both facilities, no significant differences were found. Consequently, carcinogenic conformity of rasH2 mice derived from two breeding facilities was confirmed by the present study.
