Gene Affected
Origin Long-Evans Agouti (LEA), type 2 diabetes model, dies from lymphocytic insulitis induced by radiation (4 Gy). This LEA.F344-(D20Rat47-D20Mgh4) strain is a congenic strain made by introducing a segment of chromosome 20 (D20Rat47-D20Mgh4) from F344 strain into LEA strain.
Strain characteristics This rat strain develops type 2 diabetes. However, lymphocytic insulitis is not induced by X-ray radiation.
Breeding Conditions Mating between male and female rat
Genotyping PCR analysis by using microsatellite markers(D20Rat47, D20WOX3, D20Mgh4).
