Species | Mus musculus |
Strain name | B6.129S-Ahr<tm1Yfk> |
Former Common name | AhR(C57BL6j)-/- mouse |
H-2 Haplotype | |
ES Cell line | CCE/EK.CCE [129S/SvEv-Gpi1<c>] |
Background strain | |
Appearance | black [a/a B/B C/C] |
Strain development | Developed by Drs. Yoshiaki Fujii-Kuriyama and Junsei Mimura at Tohoku University in 1997. The mutant mice are backcrossed to C57BL/6. |
Strain description | B6.129S-Ahr<tm1Yfk>. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) (dioxin receptor) is a transcription factor that mediate to catalyze xenobiotic Phase I metabolism. Homozygous mutant mice shows a slightly slower growth rate compared than wild-types for the first few weeks of life. |
Colony maintenance | Backcross to C57BL/6 (Heterozygote x C57BL/6JJcl) |
