Il22 Conditional Knockout mouse models
Encoding an interleukin 10 family cytokine, Il22 corresponds to human IL22 and signals through IL-22RA1 paired with the shared IL10RB chain, a receptor configuration restricted to epithelial and hepatocyte compartments, which makes interleukin 22 a lymphocyte to epithelium messenger rather than an immune amplifier. STAT3 activation induces antimicrobial Reg3b and Reg3g, mucins, tight junction components, and hepatocyte acute phase and regenerative programs, while the soluble decoy encoded by Il22ra2 sets bioavailability. Producers include Th17 and Th22 cells, gamma delta T cells, and ILC3s, and the same pathway that protects intestinal stem cells after injury drives keratinocyte hyperproliferation in psoriasis, so context determines whether interleukin 22 is protective or pathogenic. Conditional nulls with Rorc-Cre or Cd4-Cre attribute the source, Il22ra2 alleles test decoy control, and humanization enables agonist as well as neutralizing antibody programs. Microbiota state strongly modifies every readout here, so littermate controlled cohorts and defined flora are essential.
A floxed Il22 allele paired with Cre gives spatial control that whole body knockouts cannot offer. People use it to separate developmental roles from adult homeostasis, to model somatic mutations, and to match disease that begins in one organ.

Why this approach
Conditional knockout focuses the experiment on your target tissue while the rest of the animal keeps a wild type allele. That pattern mirrors somatic mutation in patients and avoids systemic compensation that can erase subtle phenotypes. It is often preferred when a germline null is lethal, weak, or confounded by developmental rescue.

FAQ
What Il22 Conditional Knockout mouse models are available?
When Il22 Conditional Knockout lines are in catalog, we ship from inventory. If your configuration is not listed, we design the allele to order. Common paths include conditional knockout, constitutive knockout, humanized, knockin, and transgenic options, with documented germline transmission and United States QC.
Is Il22 knockout embryonic lethal in mice?
It depends on background and allele design. Some Il22 germline knockouts are viable. Others need conditional alleles or mixed backgrounds. We review publications and our own experience, then recommend floxed versus null before you commit.
Which Cre driver is best for experiments?
Driver choice depends on onset timing, recombination efficiency, and known leak. We map your organ and cell type to a short list of proven Cre lines, then talk through reporter crosses and controls. We favor drivers with strong community validation for your tissue.
Do you ship live Il22 animals?
When catalog lines are live, we ship with health certificates and QC documentation. If your exact combo is not listed, we quote a generation project with cryo or live dispatch depending on cohort timing and geography.
How do I request a quote for Il22?
Use the catalog inquire buttons or the request quote form. Include your allele goal, Cre plan if any, strain background, and cohort size. A PhD led team responds with pricing, milestones, and the fastest path to experimental animals.
