Tool Details
- Tool name: HRN Nude Mouse
- Tool type: Experimental models
- Tool sub-type: Mouse
- Conditional: Yes
- Genetic background and cross history: The hepatic reductase null (HRN) line, which is PORlox/lox::CreALB, was crossed to the ICRF nude mouse. The ultimate experimental mouse is thus PORlox/lox::CreALB::nu/nu, with PORlox/lox::nu/nu as matched controls (the latter are essentially 'ordinary' nude mice, with normal POR expression, and thus normal hepatic P450 activity).
- Description: A P450 Oxidoreductase hepatic null in nude background (ICRF nude mouse). This mouse has a conditional deletion of POR and may be used in the drug development process to establish role of P450 activity in anti-cancer drug efficacy in vivo.
- Research area: Cancer; Drug development; Genetics; Metabolism
- Production details: The hepatic reductase null (HRN) line, which is PORlox/lox::CreALB, was crossed to the ICRF nude mouse. The ultimate experimental mouse is thus PORlox/lox::CreALB::nu/nu, with PORlox/lox::nu/nu as matched controls (the latter are essentially 'ordinary' nude mice, with normal POR expression, and thus normal hepatic P450 activity).
