Marker Strain
Gene Affected
endothelin receptor type B: Ednrb
Origin
This strain derived from AR (aganglionosis) rat found by Dr. Ikadai in 1973. AR-derived Ednrb-sl was introduced into Long-Evans(NBRP-Rat # 0557 LE.AR-EdnrbSl/Okkm) by Dr. Ozaki and this rat was provided to Dr. Agui at Hokkaido University, and inbred line was established by sib mating.
Strain characteristics
Homozygous rats show auditory disorder (congenital deafness) and die of megacolon. This strain can survive longer than AGH rat and shows milder phenotype. Heterozygous (sl/+) rats don't show any phenotypes.
Breeding Conditions
maintained in heterozygous condition
Genotyping
Forward Primer: CCTCCTGGACTAGAGGTTCC, Reverse Primer: ACGACTTAGAAAGCTACACT Product size wild-type:511 bp, mutant:210 bp
