Does anyone have experience with autism animal models?

07 July 2013 1 9K Report

I am looking for someone who could provide me with astrocytes or glial cells from an animal model of autism. I would really appreciate if you could get in touch with me by sending me a message for further details if you are willing to share the cells.

Cynthia J Gibson

Although I don't have cells available, I have worked briefly with a strain that models autistic symptoms - BTBR. Here's a link to more information on this strain: http://jaxmice.jax.org/strain/002282.html
