🐭Chinese hamster

Cricetulus griseus Milne-Edwards, 1867

中国仓鼠（学名：Cricetulus griseus）原产于中国北部沙漠地带。20世纪初，中国科学家首次将中国仓鼠作为生物实验动物使用。20世纪中期，美国科学家开始使用中国仓鼠做实验。1957年，美国科罗拉多大学的科学家从一个雌仓鼠的卵巢中提取细胞，并在体外培养细胞。由于中国仓鼠有着特殊的基因构成，中国仓鼠卵巢细胞在体外很容易大量繁殖，从1980年代开始，把重组基因植入仓鼠卵巢细胞(CHO cell，即Chinese Hamster Ovary)已经成为生产抗体药物的生产手段。
