| RIIIS/J mice have prolonged bleeding times with normal platelet activity and low levels of factor VIII:C and plasma von Willebrand factor antigen, making it a good animal model for human von Willebrand disease. This bleeding tendency is an incomplete dominant, autosomal trait. RIIIS/J mice also produce a low antibody response to several bacterial polysaccharide antigens and are reported to be resistant to collagen induced arthritis. Despite a B cell immunodeficiency, RIIS/J mice develop severe experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) (Tuzun et al., 2004). RIII/J have a high incidence of mammary tumors and ovarian tumors. RIIIS/J mice carry Mtv8, and Mtv14, but high incidence of tumors has not been reported in these mice. In fact, some studies indicate a resistance to chemically induced tumors. RIIIS/J mice have been reported to develop far fewer lung tumors than A/J or SWR/J mice subsequent to Urethan treatment. BALB/c x RIII F1 males are also highly resistant to
