Open field performance of inbred and knockout/congenic mouse strains. The knockout mouse strains tested included B6-Il10tm1Cgn (N10F14), B6-Fmr1tm1Cgr (N9), B6-Apoetm1Unc (N10F19), B6-Selptm1Bay (N10F14), B6-Lcktm1Mak (N12), B6-Cd4tm1Knw (N10F8), B6-Il6tm1Kopf (N11F7), and B6-Cd28tm1Mak (N12F8). Knockout mice are all on a B6 background and in at least the N9 generation of backcrossing. They are indicated by the name of the ablated target gene. Twelve male mice of each strain were tested. Results are shown + s.e.m. There was a significant effect of strain (F8,99 = 4.236,P<.001). Fisher's posthoc tests were then used to make pairwise comparisons. Single asterisks indicate P<0.05; double asterisks indicate P<0.01 in ANOVA analysis usingSTATVIEW.
