Nomenclature:Crl:CD1-Foxn1nu
Coat Color:Hairless, albino background
Origin:Developed from the transfer of the nude gene from Crl:NU-Foxn1nu to a CD-1® mouse through a series of crosses and backcrosses beginning in 1979 at Charles River Laboratories, Wilmington, MA. The animal lacks a thymus, is unable to produce T-cells, and is therefore immunodeficient.
Ideal For:Tumor biology and xenograft research.
