T-box transcription factor (TBX21) is a member of the T-box protein family, which shares a common DNA-binding domain. TBX21 plays a critical role in Th1 cell differentiation through stimulation of IFN γ. Due to a hypersensitive immune system, the Tbx21 (-/-) rat model is useful for studies of acute and chronic human asthma, Crohn’s disease, colitis, cancer metastasis, autoimmune disorders and inflammation.Tbx21 (T-beta) Knock…
This model contains a bi-allelic deletion within the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha gene (Ppara). Ppara Knockout Rat Characteristics: Homozygous Knockouts exhibit complete loss of protein via Western blot Background Strain: Sprague-Dawley Research Applications: Lipid metabolism Diabetes Obesity Cell proliferation Wound healing Inflammation/Autoimmune disorders
Developed in collaboration with The Michael J. Fox Foundation, this model contains a deletion of the Pink1 (PTEN-induced putative kinase 1) gene, encoding for a serine/threonine protein kinase. Mutations in Pink1 are implicated in early-onset Parkinson’s disease. Pink1 knockout rats show both motor impairments and dopaminergic cell loss, making this a useful model of Parkinson’s disease.Pink1 (Park6) Knockout Rat Characterist…
This model contains a biallelic deletion within the Disc1 (disrupted in schizophrenia 1) gene, encoding the DISC1 protein. A translocation disrupting Disc1 was discovered to co-segregate with major psychiatric illness in a Scottish family. This model is useful in the study of schizophrenia.Disc1 Knockout Rat Characteristics: Disc1 is involved in neuronal growth and cortical development The protein also regulates the pro…
This model contains a biallelic deletion of the neuroligin 3 gene (Nlgn3). Mutations in Nlgn3 have been linked with autism and Asperger’s syndrome. This model is useful for understanding the role of neuroligins in the development of autism spectrum disorders.Neuroligin 3 (Nlgn3) Knockout Rat Characteristics: This model was created in collaboration with Autism Speaks and is currently undergoing phenotypic characterization…
This model expresses cre-recombinase under the control of the endogenous tyrosine hydroxylase promoter enabling specific expression in dopaminergic neurons. This model possesses a targeted insertion of (IRES)-cre immediately after the translational stop in the open reading frame of Th. The TH-Cre rat is useful for applications requiring tissue specific expression, including optogenetics and breeding with transgenic floxed lin…

Developed from a line of Crl:CD(SD) rats. Two lines were developed from this outbred colony, the OP-CD (Obese Prone) and OR-CD (Obese Resistant). This model becomes obese when fed high-fat diets. Obesity develops despite having a fully functioning leptin receptor. The control for this model is the Crl:OR(CD). Model Properties: Coat Color: White (albino) Ideal For: obesity, metabolic syndrome Strain Code: 463
PCSK9 mice were created utilizing a full-length human PSK9 cDNA with a C-terminal V5 tag expressed under the transcriptional control of a composite human albumin promoter containing a 235 bp SV40 enhancer and a 213 bp albumin promoter element. A chimeric intron was inserted between the promoter and PCSK 9 cDNA to enhance expression. The expression cassette was flanked by a 1.2 kb insulator sequence from the chicken beta-globu…
Okamoto, Kyoto School of Medicine, 1963, from outbred Wistar Kyoto male with marked elevation of blood pressure mated to female with slightly elevated blood pressure. Brother x sister mating with continued selection for spontaneous hypertension was then started. To NIH in 1966 from Okamoto at F13. To Charles River from NIH in 1973 at F32.Model Properties: Coat Color: White (albino) MHC Haplotype: RT1k Ideal For: genet…
