Information from provider

ProviderKlaus-Peter Lesch
Provider affiliationMollecular Psychiatry, University of Wurzburg
Additional ownerDr Cornelius Gross, EMBL Mouse Biology Unit, Monterotondo/Rome, Italy
Genetic informationA neomycin selection cassette replaced a DNA segment containing exon 2 of the Slc6a4 (serotonin transporter, Sert) gene.
Phenotypic informationBehavior/Neurological: homozygotes display behavioral despair, decreased exploration in new environment, enhanced conditioned place preference, abnormal response to novel object, abnormal serotonin concentration, abnormal thermal nociception, abnormal sleep pattern.
Breeding historyThe line was backcrossed in C57BL/6J for 10 generations and it is currently maintained by siblings breedings.

Order

Availabilities

Requesting frozen sperm or embryos is generally advisable wherever possible, in order to minimise the shipment of live mice.

  • Frozen embryos. Delivered in 4 weeks (after paperwork in place). €1740*
  • Rederivation of mice from frozen stock, delivery time available upon request . €3880*

Due to the dynamic nature of our processes strain availability may change at short notice. The local repository manager will advise you in these circumstances.

* In addition users have to cover all the shipping costs (including the cost for returning dry-shippers, where applicable).
