A double null mouse line (2XENKO) lacking the xenobiotic receptors CAR (constitutive androstane receptor) (NR1I3) and PXR (pregnane X receptor) (NR1I2) was generated to study their functions in response to potentially toxic xenobiotic and endobiotic stimuli. Like the single knockouts, the 2XENKO mice are viable and fertile and show no overt phenotypes under normal conditions. As expected, they are completely...
