The test marker strain (T) developed by Russell uses seven recessive loci a (nonagouti), b (brown), cch (chinchilla), d (dilute), p (pink-eyed dilution), 5 (piebald) and se (short-ear). As for the mouse spot test, these genes control coat pigmentation, intensity or pattern, and, for the se gene, the size of the external ear. 

Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva and probably the most widespread form of ailment in this tissue. If left untreated, it can have serious consequences on vision and overall health. There are many forms of conjunctivitis, and symptoms can range from itchy, burning, or teary eyes (allergic conjunctivitis) to more severe cases of bacterial and viral conjunctivitis (commonly known as pink eye ). Each type requires... 

Purpose of the medication. With few exceptions, patients should know what the prescribed medication is intended to treat. General terms understood by lay people are preferred (e.g., pink eye, glaucoma, granulated eyelids, stye). 

Tetryzoline, an alpha-adrenoceptor agonist with vasoconstrictor and decongestant properties, is widely available without prescription for symptomatic relief of pink eye and is found in various products in a concentration of 0.05%. 

Melanin is the normal pigment of the skin and mammalian hair. Carcinomatous growths in which abnormal melanin formation occurs are known as melanomas. A congenital metabolic defect in w hich skin pigmentation does not occur is known as albinism, and is inherited as a recessive Mende-lian character (cf. 40). Albinos occur in many species besides man (e.g., the pink-eyed white rabbit). As adrenaline formation is apparently unimpaired in albinos, the metabolic block presumably lies in the conversion of dihydroxyphenylalanine to melanin, as shown in diagram 6, rather than in the conversion of tyrosine to dihydroxyphenylalanine. However, the exact nature of the block has not been established.

Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the thin, clear membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the eyelids (the conjunctiva). This inflammation causes the white of the eye and the inside of eyelids to become pink or red. The patient s eyes may be itchy or painful.

Boric acid, weaker than phosphoric acid, is a major ingredient in solutions used to kill a common household pest—roaches. This same acid is used in some chemical mixtures to fight fires. A mixture of boric acid can be applied to fabrics to make them resistant to fire. Boric acid is the only acid in the world that is beneficial for human eyes rather than harmful. Boric acid is used to treat pink eye and eye infections. Swimmers use boric acid solutions to clean their ears after swimming. Boric acid can treat ear infections in both people and their pets. Boric acid applied to your feet can even make your feet smell better Powder made from boric acid has a greenish hue that looks great in fireworks.

Bright eyes and pink eye membranes. In healthy people, the eyes are bright and clear and the membranes— which can be seen when the lower lid is pulled down—are whitish pink in color and moist.
