Description -
This model will contain a bi-allelic deletion within the Rag1 (Recombination activating 1) gene, encoding for the Recombination activating protein 1, which is essential for the development of mature B and T lymphocytes.
Additional Information
Mature B and T cells are critical components for an adaptive immune system. Rats deficient in Rag1 protein produce no mature B or T cells. This non-leaky model for severe combined immune deficiency is useful for vaccine development, as well as the study of autoimmune and infectious diseases.
