Tool Details
*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (for other uses, please contact the licensing team)
- 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.
