Overview
Nomenclature: NTac:SD-Tg(SNCA*A53T)268Cjli
- The Line 10678 Rat carries the A53T mutation on the human gene SNCA. Hemizygotes are positive for the A53T alpha-synuclein mutation.
- The A53T alpha-synuclein mutation is linked to the development of Parkinson's disease, especially variable familial Parkinson's Disease
- Neuronal loss and Lewy Bodies in the substantia nigra and locus ceruleus are associated with the A53T alpha-synuclein mutation
Origin
Line 10678 was developed in the laboratory of Chenjian Li at Cornell. The model was created through pronuclear injection of human gene SNCA with the A53T mutation into NTac:SD zygotes. Founder line 268 was bred to NTac:SD. The colony is maintained by mating a wild type female with a hemizygous male to produce hemizygous pups. Taconic received stock from Cornell in 2010 and derived the rats through embryo transfer derivation.

This model is cryopreserved and available for recovery. Models can typically be recovered and delivered to customers within 12 weeks after order receipt. Purchase of this model includes perpetual use rights and a deliverable of four mutant animals at the Murine Pathogen Free™ health standard along with a genotyping protocol. For models which include a recombinase gene or multiple alleles, all alleles will be provided, but individual animals may not contain all mutant alleles.
Taconic’s Colony Management experts can design a plan to grow your colony faster.
