  • Tool name: SAP1 Mouse
  • Research fields: Cell signaling and signal transduction;Genetics;Immunology
  • Tool sub type: Mouse
  • Disease: Castleman disease
  • Conditional: No
  • Description: In vivo study of SAP-1 knockout; in vivo study of positive T cell selection & development
  • Genetic background: An Elk4 targeting vector, containing a resistance cassette inserted between exons 1 and 4, was transfected into 129 ES cells. Properly targeted ES cells containing a homologus recombination event were selected, cloned and injected into blastocysts. Chimeric offspring were backcrossed to establish heterozygous lines, and interbred to establish homozygous mice.
  • Phenotype: The SAP-1 mouse demonstrate a phenotype analogous to mutlicentric Castleman disease when maintained in non-sterile housing.SAP-1 mice exhibit abnormalities in T cell populations, resulting from abnormal negative selection during T cell development.
