TS Hauschka Fox Chase Ha ICR Definition

This random bred stock was developed at the Institute for Cancer Research (Fox Chase Cancer Center) by Dr. T.S. Hauschka beginning in 1948. Dr. Hauschka developed the high production and high growth rate characteristics of the Icr:Ha(ICR) stock by rigid selection over a period of several years. When he left the Institute for Cancer Research in 1954, Dr. Hauschka took part of his HA(ICR) colony with him to Roswell Park Memorial Institute in Buffalo, N.Y. The remainder of the colony was left at Fox Chase where a modified version of Robertson's mating system has been used to minimize the rate of inbreeding. In agreement with Dr. Hauschka, Fox Chase designates its random bred stock "Icr:Ha(ICR)" to differentiate it from Dr. Hauschka's stock since the two colonies probably began to drift apart genetically very shortly after August, 1959.
