Male Mice Lacking Sry on the Y Chromosome with a Function Autosomal Sry Transgene

技术优势

New candidate pathwaysBetter understanding on the mechanism of action for antidepressantsSimple and convenient assay that may be used in high throughput format

技术应用

This mouse strain allows investigation of the separate actions, and interactions, of different types of sex-specific forces (hormonal and chromosomal) that cause sex differences.

详细技术说明

UCLA researchers have developed mice in which the Sry gene is deleted from the Y chromosome and inserted onto an autosome as a transgene, effectively transferring testis determination from the Y chromosome to an autosome. When male mice carrying the Sry transgene are mated to wild-type females, they produce four "core" genotypes that can be used as a model to investigate relationships between sex chromosome complement (XX or XY) and gonadal type that influences phenotypic characteristics.
