Strain: Scr:sP

Symbol: Scr:sP
Strain: sP
Substrain: Scr
Full Name: Sardinian alcohol-preferring rats
RGD ID: 2302666
Citation ID: RRID:RGD_2302666
Ontology ID: RS:0001707
Previously known as: sP/Scr
Type: outbred
Source: The Scripps Research Institute, LaJolla, California
Origin: sP/Scr rats are derived from the selectively bred Sardinian alcohol-preferring rats (sP). This colony began with founders obtained after 32 generations of selective breeding for ethanol preference from Wistar stock by Prof. G.L. Gessa (University of Cagliari). Since receipt, this substrain has been maintained at the Scripps Institute for 24 generations of intra-line, unselected breeding.
Inbred Generations: F24
Last Known Status: Unknown
