ORIGIN
Developed from the transfer of the nude gene from Crl:NU-Foxn1nu to a CD-1 mouse through a series of crosses and backcrosses beginning in 1979 at Charles River Laboratories, Wilmington, MA. The animal lacks a thymus, is unable to produce T-cells, and is therefore immunodeficient.
STRAIN CODE 086 (HOMOZYGOUS)
Note: Heterozygous animals, which are not immunodeficient and have hair, are available on request under strain code 087.
COAT COLOR Hairless, albino background
RESEARCH APPLICATION
tumor biology and xenograft research
BREEDING LOCATION
Canada, US, Germany, UK, Italy
