Strain: LEC/Hok

Symbol: LEC/Hok
Strain: LEC
Substrain: Hok
Full Name: Long Evans Cinnamon
RGD ID: 1302648
Citation ID: RRID:RGD_1302648
Ontology ID: RS:0000446
Alleles: Atp7bhts
Also Known As: NBRP Rat No: 0042; LEC; MDC-01-78
Type: inbred
Available Source: National BioResource Project for the Rat in Japan
Origination: National BioResource Project for the Rat in Japan
Description: At the Center for Experimental Plants and Animals, Hokkaido University, LEC, along with LEA, was established from a closed colony of Long-Evans rats obtained from Kobe University in 1975. In 1984, within the LEC rats of their F24 generation, a rat exhibiting spontaneous hepatitis with severe jaundice was found (Yoshida, 1987). The LEC was available from Charles River Japan, Inc., Kanagawa, as of spring, 1991.
Inbred Generations: F94
Last Known Status: Unknown (as of 2016-12-01)
Research Usage Cancer; Immunology
