mouse strain
NOD.Cg-Prkdc{scid} Il2rg{tm1Wjl} Tg(Ins2-HBEGF){6832Ugfm}/Sz mouse strain
A mouse strain containing a transgene in which DTR (transgene) is driven by the RIP promoter (NCBI Gene ID: ). NOD-Prkdc{scid} IL2rg{null}Tg(Ins2-HBEGF){6832Ugfm} mice are deficient in mature lymphocytes and NK cells, survive beyond 16 months of age, and even after sublethal irradiation resist lymphoma development. They can be induced to become hypoglycemic when Diphtheria toxin is used. 100% of beta cells will be depleted upon administration of diphtheria toxin.
