Gene Affected Albumin
Origin This strain was created at the Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo using the CRISPR-Cas9 method. Fertilized eggs from F344/Jcl rats were microinjected and then transplanted into the oviducts of pseudopregnant females. From the resulting offspring, rats with the 2A-Cre sequence inserted into the Albumin gene were selected and established.
Strain characteristics
Breeding Conditions Maintained by crossing heterozygous rats with wild type rats.
Genotyping The genotype is determined by PCR and electrophoresis.
