At the same time, the spontaneous tumors in these "antiangiogenic" mice grew larger and were more likely to enter a more advanced stage of the disease, according to research published in the British journal Nature (Stockmann 2008).
In other cases, the rodent species and strains currently used in NTP chronic bioassays (F344/N rat and B6C3F1/N mouse) are suspected to be poor models because they either do not develop a specific type of tumor or have a high spontaneous tumor incidence.
Because of their genetic uniformity and low spontaneous tumor rates, these strains can minimize the experimental variability normally associated with other species.
