The Rat as an Experimental Animal
Abstract
The development and characterization of many inbred, congenic, and recombinant strains of rats in recent years has led to the detailed genetic description of this species, especially in regard to its major histocompatibility complex. This information has contributed substantially to the study of comparative genetics and has greatly enhanced the utility of the rat in a variety of areas of biomedical research. This article focuses on the use of the rat in immunogenetics, transplantation, cancer-risk assessment, cardiovascular diseases, and behavior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
