An albumin deficient and jaundiced rat (AJR) strain was established from crosses between Albumin-Deficient rats (NAR) and jaundiced Gunn rats. AJRs have a double homozygous mutant trait (alb/alb, j/j), and systemic jaundice and various neurological signs are observed 5--7 days after birth, kernicterus occurs and they die within three weeks after birth. This strain of rats may serve as a model of human kernicterus and also be useful in elucidating the mechanism of bilirubin metabolism.
白蛋白缺乏且黄疸的大鼠（AJR）品系是由白蛋白缺乏大鼠（NAR）和黄疸Gunn大鼠杂交培育而成。AJR具有双纯合突变性状（alb/alb，j/j），出生后5 - 7天出现全身性黄疸和各种神经症状，发生核黄疸，出生后三周内死亡。这种大鼠品系可作为人类核黄疸的模型，也有助于阐明胆红素代谢机制。
