Overview

Nomenclature: B6.SJL-Tg(PLA2G2A)703 N?+16

  • Carries transgene for human Group II Phospholipase A2
  • Develops alopecia, epidermal hyperplasia and enlarged sebacious glands
  • Exhibits an increased susceptibility to LPS induced shock and atherosclerosis
  • Useful to identify and evaluate new drug candidates for treatement of human inflammatory conditions and atherosclerosis.

Origin

The sPLA2 mouse was developed by Xenogen Biosciences, now Taconic. The model was created by microinjecting the human sPLA2 gene into C57BL/6 x SJL zygotes. The line was subsequently backcrossed to C57BL/6NTac.

This model is cryopreserved and available for recovery. Models can typically be recovered and delivered to customers within 12 weeks after order receipt. Purchase of this model includes perpetual use rights and a deliverable of four mutant animals at the Murine Pathogen Free™ health standard along with a genotyping protocol. For models which include a recombinase gene or multiple alleles, all alleles will be provided, but individual animals may not contain all mutant alleles.

Taconic’s Colony Management experts can design a plan to grow your colony faster.
