BALB/c Nude Mouse

Developed through crosses and back-crosses between BALB/cABom-nu and BALB/cAnNCrj-nu at Charles River Laboratories Japan (CRLJ). Pedigreed pregnant females of CAnN.Cg-Foxn1nu/Crl 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. The control model for the BALB/c Nude Mouse is the BALB/c Heterozygous Mouse. Note: See our isolator page for available immunocompromised animal housing units. Try out the BALB/c Nude mouse with our animal model evaluation program→
