Strain: LEC-Tg(ATP7B)Tohm

Symbol: LEC-Tg(ATP7B)Tohm
Strain: LEC-Tg(ATP7B)
Substrain: Tohm
RGD ID: 1559030
Citation ID: RRID:RGD_1559030
Ontology ID: RS:0001347
Also Known As: LEC(LECSDF1)-Tg(hATP7B)Tohm; NBRP Rat No: 0216
Type: transgenic
Available Source: National BioResource Project for the Rat in Japan
Origination: National BioResource Project for the Rat in Japan
Description: A 4.5 kb fragment of human ATP7B cDNA was blunt-end ligated into the pCXN2 vector that contained the CAG promoter to generate pCXN2ATP7B which was microinjected into the pronuclei of LEC/Crlj. The transgenic founders were identified by the PCR analysis of the tail-DNA.
Inbred Generations: F5
Last Known Status: Cryopreserved Embryo; Cryopreserved Sperm
Research Usage Cancer
