Classification of seizure parameters in inbred strains of mice after systemic administration of KA

Seizure parameters, percentage of mice
Mouse strain Staring Rigid posture Repetitive movements Rearing and falling Duration of seizures (h)
BALB/cJ (n = 11) 100 100 100 100 1.27
C57BL/6J (n = 10) 100 100 100 97.5 1.35
DBA/2J (n = 10) 100 100 100 100 2.10*
FVB/NJ (n = 13) 100 100 92.3 98.3 1.42
129T2/SvEmsJ (n = 10) 100 100 100 100 1.40
SJL/J (n = 10) 100 100 100 97.3 2.08*

While KA induced a similar level of stage irrespective of mouse strain (F = 0.719; P = 0.621), a significant strain-dependent difference in the duration of severe seizures was observed (*P < 0.05).
