BRC No.RBRC00437
TypeTargeted Mutation CongenicCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameB6.129P2-Prnp<tm1Ito>/Rbrc
Former Common namePrnp-/- mouse, Prion protein (PrP) Knockout mice
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell lineE14 [129P2/OlaHsd]
Background strainC57BL/6JJcl
Appearanceblack [a/a B/B C/C]
Strain developmentDeveloped by Drs. Takashi Yokoyama, National Institute of Animal Health and Shigeyoshi Itohara, RIKEN BSI in 2001.C57BL/6J background.
Strain descriptionPrP, the prion protein, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of transmissible neurodegenerative disorders such as scrapie or BSE. Homozygous mutant mice show the absence of cellular isoform of prion protein. Aged homozygous mice exhibit tremor and ataxia.
Colony maintenanceSibling Mating (Homozygote x Homozygote)Aged mice exhibit tremor and ataxia.
