Mice that are homozygous/hemizygous for these alleles are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These mutant mice combine the following characteristics: NK cell deficiency (NOD/ShiLtJ background), T and B cell deficiency (Prkdcscid), reduced numbers of lymphocytes and myeloid dendritic cells (Il2rgtm1Wjl) and biochemically defective stromal cells (Hprt1bm-3). These mice can be used for transplantation of human primary cancers. During tumor growth, Hprt1-defective murine fibroblast and stromal cells replace human stromal cells. In culture, the addition of HAT selection media eliminates murine fibroblasts and other stromal cells and facilitates the isolation of human cancer cells. These mice may be used to generate patient-specific low passage cell lines from primary cancers for use in chemosensitivity profiling and other applications.

Use of MICE only available to non-profit entities.

These mutant mice combine the immunological characteristics of the NOD/ShiLtJ background, the severe combined immune deficiency mutation (scid), IL2 receptor gamma chain deficiency and a hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase 1 (Hprt1b-m3) null allele. This mutant mouse strain may be useful for xenotransplantation and drug screening.

Typically mice are recovered in 12-16 weeks. Contact Customer Service to place an order or for more information.
