The A129 (Ifnar1 KO) mice on a 129 background are a type I (α/β) interferon receptor (Ifnar1) gene knockout model. The absence of the IFNAR1 protein in these mice leads to a lack of type I IFN receptor function, thereby reducing immune response and increasing susceptibility to viral infections. Homozygous A129 (Ifnar1 KO) mice are viable and fertile, but they show increased susceptibility to arbovirus infections.

The IFNAR1 gene encodes a key component of the type I IFN receptor, while the IFNGR1 gene encodes the ligand-binding chain (α) of the type II (γ) IFN receptor. AG129 mice, which are knockout models for both the type I (α/β) IFN receptor (Ifnar1) and the type II (γ) IFN receptor (Ifngr1), lack functional IFNAR1 and IFNGR1 proteins, resulting in deficiencies in α/β/γ interferon receptor signaling and heightened susceptibility to viral infections. Homozygous AG129 mice are viable and fertile, and exhibit increased sensitivity to arboviral infections, generating viremia similar to that seen in humans. Compared to IFNα/β/γR KO mice on the C57BL/6 background, the 129-background AG129 mice exhibit more pronounced neurological symptoms after infection.

This strain is an Abca4 gene knockout (KO) mouse model. Gene-editing technology was used to delete the protein-coding sequence of the Abca4 gene (the homolog of the human ABCA4 gene) in mice. Previous studies have demonstrated that Abca4 KO mice exhibit delayed dark adaptation following photobleaching and a slow progression of photoreceptor degeneration. Homozygous Abca4 KO mice are viable and fertile.

The Abcd1 KO mouse, a gene knockout model generated by deleting exon 2 of the mouse Abcd1 gene (homologous to human ABCD1), serves as a valuable tool for studying the pathogenesis of X-ALD and developing therapeutic interventions.

This strain is a mouse Ace2 gene knockout model that uses gene editing technology to knock out the homologous gene of human ACE2 in mice. The knockout of the Ace2 gene will result in the absence of ACE2 protein expression, and this model can be used for the study of COVID-19. The homozygous Ace2-KO mice are viable and fertile.

The Agxt KO mouse is a gene knockout model created using gene-editing techniques to knock out the coding sequence of the Agxt gene (the homolog of the human AGXT gene) in mice. This model is used to research the pathogenic mechanisms of primary hyperoxaluria and develop related therapeutic strategies.

Alb-Cre+/MYC+ mice are generated by crossing H11-CAG-LSL-hMYC-IRES-EGFP mice (Catalog Number: C001338), which conditionally express the human c-Myc oncogene, with Alb-Cre mice that express Cre recombinase specifically in hepatocytes under the control of the Alb promoter. The Cre-mediated recombination results in the deletion of the transcriptional stop sequence (Loxp-Stop-Loxp, LSL) in H11-CAG-LSL-hMYC-IRES-EGFP mice, leading to overexpression of the MYC oncogene in the liver and subsequent carcinogenesis. This model, therefore, spontaneously develops liver cancer with an early onset.

The Apc KO mouse is a research model constructed by using gene editing technology to knock out the sequence in the mouse Apc gene that contains the mutation cluster region (MCR), and this strain is homozygous lethal. Heterozygous Apc KO mice can spontaneously develop intestinal adenomas and exhibit significant colorectal cancer disease phenotypes in various aspects such as survival, growth, food intake, and intestinal lesions. Therefore, Apc KO mice can be used for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and colorectal cancer and other tumors or tumor-related diseases, as well as the study of the regulatory mechanism of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This strain is an Atp7b deletion mouse model, which uses gene editing technology to knock out Atp7b, the homolog of the human ATP7B gene in mice that lack the expression of ATP7B protein and can be used in the study of disorders related to copper metabolisms such as Wilson's disease, acute liver failure, and steatohepatitis. The heterozygous Atp7b KO mice are viable and fertile, and homozygous mice have a reduced life expectancy.

B6-3*hSMN2 mice are a humanized disease model carrying three copies of the human SMN2 gene, which can be used to mimic SMA patients with three SMN2 gene copies. Since the SMN2 gene primarily produces SMNΔ7 protein lacking exon 7, rather than full-length SMN protein, the humanized SMN2 gene cannot fully compensate for the abnormalities caused by Smn1 deficiency, resulting in the manifestation of SMA-like phenotypes in this model.
