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…
