Strain: SD-Tg(Gfap-Tk1)Jog

Symbol: SD-Tg(Gfap-Tk1)Jog
Strain: SD-Tg(Gfap-Tk1)
Substrain: Jog
Full Name: SD-Tg(Gfap-Tk1)
RGD ID: 11040941
Citation ID: RRID:RGD_11040941
Ontology ID: RS:0004132
Alleles: Tk1;   Gfap
Also Known As: GFAP-TK; NBRP Rat No: 0639; SD-Tg(Gfap-Tk)Jog
Type: transgenic
Available Source: National BioResource Project for the Rat in Japan
Description: The rats were originally generated by the University of Michigan Transgenic Animal Model Core, University of Michigan. They used a Crl:CD(SD) sub strain of Sprague-Dawley rats, obtained from Charles River Laboratory (Wilmington, MA, USA). The F1 rats have been bred in the UK with Hsd:Sprague Dawley (Harlan laboratories, UK), which are direct descendants of the original 1925 SD-company colony (Madison, Wisconsin, USA). The GFAP-TK rat was generated by pronuclear injection of a Gfap-Tk Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) construct, engineered using RedET-mediated homologous recombination methods.
Coat Color: White
Inbred Generations: F10
Last Known Status: Cryopreserved Embryo (as of 2023-12-14)

Note Type Note Reference
strain_characteristics Rats show no phenotype until dosed with the antiviral agant ganciclovir. Chronic dosing at 10mg/kg/day via subcutaneous minipump for 21 days results in a loss of DCX-positive cells in the dentate gyrus and subventricular zone. 1302502
strain_reproduction Males are infertile. Females generate good litters of 10-15 pups showing 50% heterozygous offspring 1302502
