TCDD sensitivity differences among animal models

Species	Strain	Male LD50 (μg/kg)	Female LD50 (μg/kg)
Hamstera	N/A	>5051	N/A
Guinea Pigb	N/A	0.6-2	N/A
Ratc	Han/Wistar (Kuopio)	>10000	>10000
	Long-Evans (Turku AB)	17.7	9.8
Mouse	C57BL/6Kuo d	305	>5000
	DBAe	~2570	N/A

The dose-sensitivity of TCDD-induced lethality in animals varies largely among organisms; both inter- and intra-species variation exists
