TK-NOG Mouse

Notice of commencement of distribution of TK-NOG mice and human liver chimeric mice

Trial distribution of TK-NOG mice, which have been favored for a long time, is to be terminated.

Regarding the distribution of TK-NOG mice and human liver chimeric mice engrafted with human hepatocytes hereafter, please contact our business partner, In-Vivo Science Inc.

Distribution to academic organizations will be continued by CIEM.

TK-NOG mouse
Formal name NOD.Cg-PrkdcscidIl2rgtm1SugTg(Alb-UL23)7-2/ShiJic
Abbreviated name NOG-Tg(Alb-UL23)7-2/ShiJic
Age at distribution (weeks) 6-week old male♂(genes for transfection already selected)
Distribution conditions

Upon use of TK-NOG mice, please agree with the following terms on the Type 2 Use of genetically modified organisms related to research and development, etc.

  1. Submit a separate research protocol if you would like to use them.
  2. Use only for the purpose described in the research protocol.
  3. Do not distribute or sell to any third party.
  4. Do not perform in-house breeding, mating with other strains, genetic modification, etc.
  5. Submit the use results report at the end of the business year.
  6. With regard to rearing this mouse, comply with related laws and regulations, perform appropriate rearing management in the rearing facility at P1A level, and strive to prevent runaway, loss, theft, etc.
Microbial monitoring We will provide you with the most recent monitoring results of the "immunodeficient animal core set" as per the ICLAS Monitoring Center (within 1 month).
We will perform testing of other parameters separately.
Human liver chimeric mice
Distribution conditions The Type 2 Use of genetically modified organisms related to research and development, etc., is applicable. Please agree with the same terms as those for TK-NOG mice.
Microbial monitoring Mice with chimeric rates of 1) ≧70% and 2) ≧40% are available.
Please contact In-Vivo Science Inc. for details.
