Control Strain
Marker Strain
Gene Affected
Gulo: gulonolactone (L-) oxidase
Origin
A congenic strain developed from a recipient, SHR(Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat) and a donor, ODS (Lack of L-gulono-gamma-lactone oxidasestrainin). Introduced to Nagoya University in 1995 (now F18).
Strain characteristics
The osteogenic disorder Shionogi (ODS) rat is a mutant Wistar rat that is subject to scurvy, because it lacks L-gulono-gamma-lactone oxidase, a key enzyme in L-ascorbic acid biosynthesis (Horio et al. 1985)
Breeding Conditions
Normal breeding when L-ascorbic acid is supplemented in food (1000mg/kg) or water (1g/L). Breeding performance is unclear post 3rd delivery.
Genotyping
PCR-RFLP
