Loss-of-function mutations in the forkhead box N1 (FOXN1) gene lead to nude severe combined immunodeficiency, a rare inherited syndrome characterized by athymia, severe T cell immunodeficiency, congenital alopecia, and nail dystrophy. We recently produced FOXN1 mutant nude rabbits (NuRabbits) by using CRISPR-Cas9. Here we report the establishment and maintenance of the NuRabbit colony. NuRabbits, like nude mice, are hairless, lack thymic development, and are immunodeficient. To demonstrate the functional applications of NuRabbits in biomedical research, we show that they can successfully serve as the recipient animals in xenotransplantation experiments using human induced pluripotent stem cells or tissue-engineered blood vessels. Our work presents the NuRabbit as a new member of the immunodeficient animal model family. The relatively large size and long lifespan of NuRabbits offer unique applications in regenerative medicine, cancer research, and the study of a variety of other human conditions, including immunodeficiency. NuRabbit colony is established and available for the research community NuRabbits are nude and immunodeficient due to a mutation(s) in the FOXN1 gene NuRabbits support iPSC teratoma assay NuRabbits support xenotransplant of tissue-engineered blood vessels CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene knockout of FOXN1 in rabbits leads to the establishment of the nude rabbit (NuRabbit) colony, characterized by the nude and immunodeficient phenotypes. NuRabbits support iPSC teratoma assay and tissue-engineered blood vessel transplant. The larger size and longer lifespan of NuRabbits, compared with those of nude mice, offer unique application opportunities in regenerative medicine research.
