A knockin nonhuman animal having a DNA wherein a region containing at
least an exon of an MnSOD gene is interposed between two recombinase
recognition sequences is disclosed. Further, a knockout nonhuman animal
obtainable by mating a transgenic nonhuman animal expressing a
recombinase in a specific tissue with the above knockin nonhuman animal,
wherein an expression of manganese superoxide dismutase in the specific
tissue is suppressed or deficient; and a nonhuman animal obtainable by
further mating one of the above animals with the above knockout nonhuman
animal, wherein manganese superoxide dismutase is specifically deficient
in the specific tissue are disclosed.
