Transgene: human CD59 gene (cDNA) under control of alpha-globin regulatory elements (alpha-globin promoter and alpha hemoglobin locus control region). Upon administration of intermedilysin (ILY), cells expressing human CD59 will be selectively ablated
Genetic Status:
Hemizygous
Last Known Status:
Cryopreserved Sperm (as of 2017-01-26)
Research Usage
intravascular hemolysis and related sequelae of anemia, hemoglobinemia, and hemoglobinuria
Transgene positive rats will develop intravascular hemolysis and anemia following administration of intermedilysin (ILY) due to specific ablation of human-CD59 expressing red blood cells.
