Two allelic forms of the supernatant NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) are found in inbred strains of mice (Henderson, 1965). The five C3H substrains tested, namely C3H/HeJ, C3H/Re-sl, C3H/N-wJ+, C3H/J-WX+ and C3HeB/FeJ, all proved to be of the Id-la/Id-la genetic constitution. (For the nomenclature of inbred strains and substrains of mice see Staats, Committee on Standardized Nomenclature for Inbred Strains of Mice, Cancer Res. 24 (1964), 147–168.) All these substrains were obtained from E. S. Russell at the Jackson Memorial Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, and were presumably all derived from C3H/He mice.
