Overview

Nomenclature: B6.SJL-Tg(APOA-CETP)1Dsg N11

  • Contains human cholesteryl ester transfer protein transgene
  • Exhibits dramatic reduction in serum HDL cholesterol
  • Useful for identifying and evaluating compounds that increase HDL cholesterol levels and for atherosclerosis studies
  • Differs from model 1003 in that it has been backcrossed for six additional generations to C57BL/6, thereby reducing genes from the SJL strain
Orders by weight: Taconic cannot accept orders by weight for this model. Please note that shipments may contain animals with a larger weight variation.

Origin

The CETP mouse was developed in the laboratory of Dr. David Grass at Xenogen Biosciences, now Taconic. The model was created by microinjecting the human CETP gene into (C57BL/6J x SJL) F2 zygotes. Taconic received stock in April 1996 at the second backcross from the founder line. The mice were then backcrossed one generation to C57BL/6 prior to intercrossing for homozygosity. Backcrossing to C57BL/6NTac recommenced at Taconic in 2004. The line was backcrossed a total of 10 generations (N10) and then intercrossed to homozygosity. A homozygous colony is maintained for the production of hemizygotes through mating to C57BL/6NTac (N11).

Packing Practices

Taconic standard practice is to recombine animals of different home cages and/or ages from a single model and sex during packing, except in specific cases where Taconic's animal welfare policy prohibits recombination due to aggression or other concerns.  When an order is fulfilled with animals from more than one week of birth, this standard practice results in animals from a range of birth weeks packed together in a single TTC. When an order is fulfilled with animals from genotyped models, this standard practice results in animals from different home cages packed together in a single TTC.

Customers who wish to keep animals from different weeks of birth separated should place orders with the special instruction "Divide and label by age."  Note that this special request can result in increased costs for additional Taconic Transit Cages, dividers and/or freight charges.

Taconic discourages other types of custom packing requests as they can have a negative impact on animal welfare. Learn more.
