— CHO Gadd7 knockdown cell lines
Inventors generated two stable Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines with knockdown of gadd7 by transfecting cells with a custom siRNA plasmid targeting hamster gadd7 (KD1 and KD2) and a control CHO cell line by transfecting cells with a custom scrambled siRNA plasmi…

— Crry-knockout mouse strain (Crry -/-)
Researchers generated mice deficient in Crry by disrupting exon 5 of the mouse Crry gene. The mice are sensitive to complement deposition and activation, especially the C3 component of complement on the surface of the placenta.

— Target: Mouse/rat interleukin-1 beta and mouse interleukin-1 alpha. Located on macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B cells.
Notes: Clone name is B-122 and Alf-161
Information on antibodies against IL-1 beta:
The role of murine IL-1 beta in vitro and in vivo has not been defined. We describe here the production of neutralizing and immunoprecipitating mAb and polyclonal antibodies specific for murine IL-1 beta and their application to a characterization of the…

— Mouse strain deficient in IL-1 beta
Inventors created the IL-1 beta deficient mouse strain by targeting the IL-1 beta gene in embryonic stem cells. These mice develop and grow normally. Endotoxin-stimulated peritoneal macrophages from IL-1beta- deficient mice showed normal synthesis and cellular release of IL- 1alpha after treatment w…
