Popular Model Organisms

genetically modified organisms transgenic organisms genetically modified organisms examples

Model organisms are instrumental to the study of gene functions. Gene editing technology has always played a crucial role in the research on gene functions, diseases and drug discovery, through its application in genetic engineering of model organisms, mimicking of human diseases, as well as observation of physiological or pathological changes. In particular, the CRISPR/Cas9 technology has achieved remarkable breakthroughs in recent years, significantly improving the efficiency of genetic engineering in model organisms, and facilitating more extensive and in-depth applications of animal models in various research fields.

Gene tracking

marker gene gene tracking

Gene tracers are an important application for genetically engineered mice. Through gene knock-in, exogenous tracer genes were knocked into endogenous genes, enabling labeling and tracing of genes.

Blood Analysis

Mouse serum mouse serum albumin

At Shanghai Model Organisms Center, we use an automatic biochemical analyzer to measure a specific chemical composition of serum according to the principle of photoelectric colorimetry. This can be used to assess liver and kidney functions or measure blood sugar, blood lipids, and electrolytes.

Services

Inflammation Models

inflammation diseases inflammation research inflammatory factors

Inflammation is a common yet important pathological process. Any factor that may cause tissue damage can lead to inflammation. Anomal inflammatory response may result in chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases and even cancer. The regulation of inflammation-related genes is an important topic in the study of the development of inflammation.

Pharmacodynamics Analysis & Evaluation

Based on the U-GEMM repository, the pharmacodynamics evaluation service from Shanghai Model Organisms can conduct main pharmacodynamics study on the drugs for anti-inflammatory-immunity, antineoplastic, cardiovascular system, respiratory system and metabolic diseases,etc, satisfy the study requirements of different layers of in vivo experiments, mechanism investigation and molecular biological study, and confirm the effectiveness and safety of new drug(s).

P53 CKO Mouse Model

p53 knockout p53 knockout mice p53 gene

Our own-developed mouse model of p53 conditional knockout (p53-CKO) can be mated with mice carrying tissue-specific Cre expression to obtain mice with homozygous deletion of p53 in specific tissues or cells. These mice can be used for tumorigenesis and tumor mechanistic studies.

Model Repository

model repository

Shanghai Model Organisms has established more than 18,000 genetically modified mouse models using three core technologies of gene editing. It has more than 10,000 proprietary genetically engineered mouse models that can be directly used for studies on gene functions, drug screening, and human diseases. At the same time, Shanghai Model Organisms has more than 30 fluorescent-labeled tumor cell lines, which can be used for in vitro experiments, studies on tumor bearing mice and other tumor researches.

Pten CKO Mouse Model

Our own-developed mouse model of Pten conditional knockout (Pten-CKO) can be mated with mice carrying tissue-specific Cre expression to obtain mice with homozygous deletion of Pten in specific tissues or cells, thus avoiding the embryonic death caused by systemic and homozygous Pten knockout. Pten-CKO mice can be used to study tumorigenesis, anti-tumor targets, neurogenesis, glial differentiation and cerebellar development.
