Iron Deficiency Mouse Model
Technology No. z09100
Iron Deficiency Research Tool
This transgenic mouse model can help researchers understand the fundamental biology behind iron deficiency's effects on the brain. It was created by crossing targeted Slc11a2 flox/flox mice in a 129 J1 background strain (20) with CaMKIIα−cre (L7ag#13 line (21)) transgenic mice in a C57BL/6J background to generate double mutant, hippocampal neuron specific knockout of Slc11a2 (Slc11a2hipp/hipp mice) in a mixed, Filial 2 (F2) generation, 129 J1/C57BL/6J background.
