KPC Knockin mouse models
Knockin designs at KPC support head to head comparisons between wild type and modified alleles because regulatory DNA stays in place.
What KPC Knockin mouse models are available?
ingenious targeting laboratory offers 1 distinct KPC knockin catalog mouse model. Researchers can order pre-developed catalog lines or request a custom mouse model, including humanized, knockin, and transgenic variations with verified germline transmission.

| The KPC mouse is an established and clinically relevant model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) which develops many key features observed in human PDAC including pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia alongside a robust inflammatory reaction including exclusion of effector T cells. Metastases are observed in around 80% of KPC animals located primarily in the liver and lungs. Mutations in both KRAS and TP53 genes are found in around 80% and 70% of all human PDACs respectively. Trp53-R172H、Kras-LSL-G12D were crossed with Pdx1-Cre-Tg to generate KPC mice. The KPC mouse contains a dominant negative point mutation in the transformation related protein 53 gene (TP53R172H), and a conditional activation point mutation in the KRAS gene (KRASG12D). A lox-stop-lox termination sequence is encoded upstream of KRAS mutated genes to prevent expression in the absence of Cre recombinase. The pancreas-specific Pdx-1 promoter enables expression of Cre recombinase in acini, islet and duct cells of the pancreas. Cre-mediated recombination excises the lox-stop-lox termination sequences and enables expression of KRASG12D in pancreatic tissue. | |||||
Why this approach
Knockin and humanized formats keep regulatory context at the endogenous locus. For your target tissue focused programs, that matters when expression timing, splice isoforms, or allele dosage drive biology. Random integration transgenics can still help, but targeted alleles usually give cleaner pharmacology readouts.

FAQ
What KPC Knockin mouse models are available?
When KPC Knockin 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 KPC knockout embryonic lethal in mice?
It depends on background and allele design. Some KPC 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 KPC 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 KPC?
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.
