Genetic information | Reintroduction of 129Met-Human PrP constructs under the control of a murine PrP promoter on a murine PrPn -/- background |
Phenotypic information | Homozygous:Overexpression of bovine PrP in mice lacking expression of murine PrP. Level expression of 129Met-Human PrP in brain is approximately 2-fold that in human brain. These mice are very susceptible to human prion transmission and adequate models to determine human susceptibility to prions from other species.Heterozygous:Level expression of 129Met-Human PrP in brain of hemizygous mice is approximately 2-fold that in human brain. |
Breeding history | The original line was produced on embryos obtained crossing B6CBAF1 females with 129P2/OlaHsd males. Founders were crossed to obtain homozygosity for both mutations without a specific breeding scheme. Mice are since then kept crossing brother to sister. Approximately 15 generations. |
