Immunodeficient Mice

IMMUNODEFICIENT MICE

NOD-SCID

Strain Name: NOD/ShiLtJGpt-Prkdcem26Cd52/Gpt
Strain Type: Knockout (KO)
Strain Number: T001492

STRAIN DESCRIPTION

NOD-SCID mice are immunodeficient animals developed by knocking out the Prkdc gene on a NOD (Non-Obese Diabetic) background using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. The original NOD strain is known for spontaneously developing type 1 diabetes and carrying natural immune system defects, including weak complement activity, impaired macrophages, and low NK cell function. By removing Prkdc, NOD-SCID mice lose functional T and B cells, creating a model that combines both adaptive and innate immune deficiencies. Unlike traditional SCID mice, NOD-SCID mice also express a version of the SIRPα protein that binds strongly to human CD47, improving their ability to accept human cells and tissues.

VALIDATION DATA

1. NOD-SCID Peripheral Blood Immune Cell Sub-population Statistics

Peripheral blood of 7-week-old NOD and NOD-SCID mice was taken for flow assay to determine the ratio of their immune cell fractions. The results showed that compared with NOD, there were almost no T and B cells in NOD-SCID, the proportion of NK cells increased compensatory, the proportion of DC cells, neutrophils, monocytes and eosinophils increased, and the proportion of macrophages decreased.

2. NOD-SCID Spleen Immune Cell Sub-population Statistics

The spleens of 7-week-old NOD and NOD-SCID mice were taken for flow assay to determine their immune cell fraction ratios. The results showed that compared with NOD, NOD-SCID had almost no T and B cells, a compensatory increase in the proportion of NK cells, and an increase in the proportion of DC cells, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils

3. NOD-SCID Growth Curve

Body weight analysis was performed for 12-week-old NOD-SCID mice. The results showed that the body weight of NOD-SCID male mice was generally higher than that of female mice.
