The golden hamster, also known as the Syrian hamster, originates from Syria. It has a golden-yellow color, weighs around 120 - 150 grams when fully grown, and has 22 pairs of chromosomes. All the different breeds of golden hamsters raised worldwide share the same ancestor and have similar genetic origins. China introduced the golden hamster in the 1940s. As a key experimental animal, its usage and application rank fourth among rodents, following mice, rats, and guinea pigs, both internationally and domestically.
The golden hamster is widely used in medical research fields such as epidemiology, microbiology, immunology, genetics, aging studies, and behavioral studies. In terms of biological products, it is often used for testing rabies and Japanese encephalitis vaccines. Its kidney cells can be used for isolating, culturing, and maintaining various viruses (such as encephalitis, influenza, and adenoviruses), rickettsiae, and protozoa. Being highly sensitive to viruses, it has become a major animal for viral research and experiments and is widely used in toxicity and teratology studies.
Given its vital role in biomedical research, golden hamster primary hepatocytes and subcellular fractions have been developed. This provides more animal options for biomedical studies and helps protect disease research efforts.
