COVID-19

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of biological and biomedical research in the fight against disease and its key role in providing treatments and vaccines. At the IMPC, we know and understand how vital it is that the scientific community continues to share resources, knowledge and expertise. This page has been created to outline the resources the IMPC can offer the scientific community for COVID-19 research. You can also read our official statement for an up-to-date status of broader IMPC resources or read our blog post on the role of mouse models in COVID-19 research.

Resources from Members


Multiple IMPC members across the globe are offering their services to aid in the research of COVID-19. To view the full list of members offering their service please view our Consortium Members page.

The IMPC is also a part of the Global Mouse Models for COVID-19 Consortium (GMMCC). A global partnership of mouse genetics, genomics, and functional assessment centres. For more information visit their website.

Available IMPC KO Lines


This is a curated list of IMPC alleles that can be used for COVID-19 research, including Pub Med articles illustrating their relevance. Please click ‘view data’ to visit our gene pages where you can find information on phenotypes and links for ordering mice, embryonic stem cells, target vectors and tissues (where available).

The IMPC works with members and partners of our consortium to provide mouse models to our users.

Please note: Ordering mice products is handled by our partners, not through the IMPC website. You will be redirected to their website to complete the order process. All lines are subject to availability and potential licensing constraints. If you need help in regards to ordering a covid mouse line please feel free to contact us, or the mice repositories, for further assistance.
