Original Source Hiroshi Baba, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation
Original Comments This strain was established by Merrell (Minneapolis, MN, USA) as an insecticide-resistant strain derived from an Oregon R line. Since 1952, this strain had been selected for DDT resistance1),2), and the surviving flies proved to carry the RI gene for insecticide resistance on the second(?) chromosome with increased capability of cytochrome P-450 dependent bioactivation of promutagens/procarcinogens. This strain is suited to increase the test sensitivity for Drosophila assays for detecting various mutagens/carcinogens which requires metabolic activation3).
