A Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) containing the mouseSlc5a7 gene was used to make transgenic mice. Mice show elevated choline transporter and acetylcholine levels and increased treadmill endurance.
This is a unique genetically modified strain ofmice that models Dravet syndrome, a severe infant-onset epileptic encephalopathy. They are maintained on apure 129S6/SvEvTac genetic background to facilitate genetic studies.
Allows for targeted deletion of the GluN2B subunit of NMDA receptors in specific cells or at specific times during development, juvenile, or adult stages. C57BL6/J background
