Pressure arteriography is the gold-standard for quantifying function, reactivity and mechanics in isolated perfused blood vessels. When embarking on pressure arteriography, many factors warrant consideration. In addition to the requisite surgical skills for isolating and cannulating small arteries, proper instrumentation is also paramount.

The 11BHSD2 mouse was produced by injection of a construct, containing 11β-HSD2 cDNA isolated from mouse kidney and cloned into plasmid Clone 26 to recruit the 5.4 kb mouse α–myosin heavy chain (α-MHC) promoter, into pronuclei of C57BL/6 embryos. Transgenic mice were maintained by sibling mating and used as hemizygotes. Model Properties: Coat Color: Black Ideal For: Cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure Strain Code: 510 HE,…

NSE-p25 mice were created by pronuclear injection of an NSE-p25 transgene, produced internally at Pfizer, with transplantation of embryos to pseudopregnant CD-1 females. At weaning genomic DNA was isolated from tail tissue and founder transgenics were identified by PCR that specifically amplified DNA sequences from the human p25 cDNA. Founder mice were bred to FVB/N mates and transgenic offspring were used to maintain the tra…

Developed by C.C. Little in 1921, from a mating of Miss Abby Lathrop’s stock that also gave rise to strains C57BR and C57L. Strains 6 and 10 separated about 1937. To Hall in 1948 from The Jackson Laboratory. To NIH in 1951 from The Jackson Laboratory at F32. To Charles River in 1974 from NIH. Model Properties: Coat Color: Black MHC Haplotype: H2b Ideal For: general multipurpose model, diet-induced obesity, transgenic…

Silvers and Billingham began brother x sister matings with selection for histocompatibility in 1958 from a brown mutation in a stock of wild rats maintained by King and Aptekman in a pen-bred colony of rats trapped from the wild in 1930 by King at the Wistar Institute. To Charles River from Radiobiology Institute, Netherlands in 1976. Model Properties: Coat Color: Non-agouti brown MHC Haplotype: RT1n Ideal For: Geneti…

This immunodeficient nude mouse originated from NIH and was originally thought to be a BALB/c congenic. It was later determined that it was not inbred and is therefore maintained as an outbred. It is not associated with any stock or strain. The animal lacks a thymus, is unable to produce T cells, and is therefore immunodeficient. To Charles River from NCI in 2010. Model Properties: Coat Color: Hairless, albino background…

The New Zealand White rabbit was obtained in 1991 by Charles River Canada (CRC) from Kitayama Labs K.K. of Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Model Properties: Coat Color: White (albino) Ideal For: General multipurpose model Strain Code: 052

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…
