| Model | Conditional KO |
| Relevance |
P-gp, a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily, is a glycoprotein encoded in humans by the ABCB1 gene. P-gp is a well-characterized ABC-transporter responsible for transporting a wide variety of substrates across extra- and intracellular membranes. The normal excretion of xenobiotics back into the gut lumen by P-gp pharmacokinetically reduces the efficacy of some pharmaceutical drugs and in addition, some cancer cells also express large amounts of P-gp which can further enhance that effect. This makes some cancers multi-drug resistant. |
| Production Details | This model was generated by breeding the Mdr1a/b mutated mouse with the Bcrp mutated mouse. The Mdr1a/b model was created by sequential targeting of the two Abcb1a and Abcb1b genes in E14 ES cells. Resultant chimeras were backcrossed to FVB/N for seven generations. The Bcrp model was created by targeting the Abcg2 gene in E14 embryonic stem cells derived from 129P2/OlaHsd mice and injecting the targeted cells into FVB blastocysts. |
| Conditional | Yes |
| Growth/Phenotype Keywords | Albino |

| Zygosity |
Homozygous for all three mutations. Wild type for Nnt mutation; carries Pde6brd1 mutation |
| Research Area | Cancer, Drug Discovery & Development |
| Notes |
The Mdr1a/b-Bcrp mouse was developed in the laboratory of Alfred Schinkel of the Netherlands Cancer Institute. Useful in studies of drug transport, oral bioavailability and multi-drug resistance |
