Abstract
Amphibia are widely used in research, particularly in the fields of neurobiology, physiology and embryology. Recent interest in the evolution of the immune system (Cohen, 1970; Wabl and Du Pasquier, 1976) has highlighted the need for inbred and isogenic stocks. Once such stocks are available, they would be useful for a wide range of studies.
