In vivo model for xenograft and Immunology studies. Recombination Activation Genes (Rag) encode enzymes that play an important role in the rearrangement and recombination of the genes of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor molecules during the process of V(D)J recombination. Rag1 knockout rats lack mature B and T lymphocytes.Rag1 Knockout Rat Characteristics: 29 bp deletion within Exon 2 on chromosome 3 Homozygous Rag1 k…
The Prkdc gene encodes the catalytic subunit of a nuclear DNA-dependent serine/threonine protein kinase (DNA-PK). DNA-PK is required for the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway of DNA repair, which rejoins double-strand breaks. It is also required for V(D)J recombination, a process that utilizes NHEJ to promote immune system diversity. Mature B and T cells are critical components for an adaptive immune system. DNA-PK kn…
The Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is directly involved in the development of atherosclerosis, due to accumulation of LDL cholesterol in the blood. Ldlr (-/-) rats show elevated serum cholesterol levels. Ldlr Knockout Rat Characteristics: This model possesses a 337 bp deletion and 4 bp insertion within Exon 4 on chromosome 8 Homozygous knockout rats display loss of LDLR protein via Western blot Homozygous knoc…
Leptin is essential for energy intake and expenditure. It is one of the most important adipose-derived hormones, being primarily expressed in adipocytes of white adipose tissue. Loss of function of Leptin creates an uncontrolled appetite leading to severe obesity and abnormal metabolism, making this a useful model for the study of lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol and high blood…
Rabbits are a preferred model in hypertension and atherosclerosis studies due to their convenience of various physiological and surgical manipulations.
