ORIGIN
Developed through crosses and back-crosses between BALB/cABom-nu and BALB/cAnNCrj-nu at Charles River Laboratories Japan (CRLJ). Pedigreed pregnant females of BALB/cAnNCrj-nu were received from CRLJ in 1985. This mouse is inbred, and genetic monitoring results confirm it to be a BALB/c nude. The animal lacks a thymus, is unable to produce T-cells, and is therefore immunodeficient.
STRAIN CODE 194 (HOMOZYGOUS),
195 (HETEROZYGOUS*)
*Heterozygous animals are not immunodeficient and are haired.
COAT COLOR Hairless, albino background
RESEARCH APPLICATION
tumor biology and xenograft research
