Introduction
These rodents belonging to the subfamily Cricetinae. Sexual maturity occurs at about 4 to 6 weeks and hamsters are seasonal breeders (April to October in the northern hemisphere) with several litters of 1 to 13 pups after a gestation period of between 16 to 23 days. The Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) ovary (CHO) cells have been used widely in research as a host for protein production.
This animal model also demonstrates neural tube defects when exposed prenatally to hyperthermia.
