PTZ-induced seizure responses in chr 15 congenic strains

B6 15P 15M 15D
Latency to myoclonus, s 333 ± 74 348 ± 99 320 ± 99 326 ± 80
Latency to generalized seizure, s 438 ± 108 450 ± 93 415 ± 91 400 ± 102
Fraction with maximal seizure 0.33 0.17 0.33 0.33

Latency values are means ± SD (n = 6 per group). Mice were tested with 1 injection of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ, 80 mg/kg sc) and observed for 45 min. Latencies were analyzed with ANOVA, and maximal seizure responses were analyzed with Fisher's exact test. No statistically significant differences were obtained.
