Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Ws mutant allele of rats: a 12-base deletion in tyrosine kinase domain of c-kit gene.
Tohru Tsujimura,Seiichi Hirota,Shintaro Nomura,Yoshiki Niwa,Masaru Yamazaki,T Tono,Eiichi Morii,Hyung-Min Kim,Kazuhiro Kondo,Yoshitake Nishimune +9 more
TL;DR: The Ws/Ws rat is the first characterized mutant of the c-kit gene in an animal species other than the mouse and its phenotype resembled the phenotype of mice possessing a double-gene dose of mutant alleles at the W locus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anemia and mast cell depletion in mutant rats that are homozygous at "white spotting (Ws)" locus.
Yoshiki Niwa,Tsutomu Kasugai,Kyoko Ohno,Masahiro Morimoto,Masaru Yamazaki,Kayoko Dohmae,Yoshitake Nishimune,Kyoji Kondo,Yukihiko Kitamura +8 more
TL;DR: The magnitude of the anemia decreased and that of the mast cell deficiency increased in adult Ws/Ws rats, this mutant is potentially useful for investigations about differentiation and function of mast cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of new inbred strains derived from Japanese wild rats (Rattus norvegicus).
TL;DR: Five new strains of Japanese wild rats (Rattus norvegicus) resulted in five new strains, which can provide new genetic variations against a wild type background and might be useful for physiological and psychological experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The domestication of Crocidura dsinezumi as a new laboratory animal.
TL;DR: The dsinezumi shrew (Crocidura ds Martinezumi), a small insectivore, has been bred for the first time as a laboratory animal and the reproductive life was estimated at one and a half years, while the longevity was approximately 2 years.
