Homepage of the WHHL rabbit and WHHLMI rabbit |
(Since opening the home page of WHHLMI rabbits at January 20, 2001)
The WHHL rabbit strain was developed by Dr. Yoshio Watanabe from a mutant rabbit at Kobe University School of Medicine in 1979 and the WHHLMI rabbit strain was developed from the WHHL rabbits in 1999 by Dr. Masashi Shiomi, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine.
We have been breeding WHHLMI rabbits with the support of many researchers and pharmaceutical companies, but in June 2018 the WHHLMI rabbit colony at Kobe University was closed. We sincerely express our heartfelt gratitude to the support of many years.
From 1980 to 2017, Kobe University provided more than 100 WHHL or WHHLMI rabbits annually to researchers around the world. (4,639 cumulative total), and the number of papers written in English is 751 as of August, 2025.
In closing the WHHLMI rabbit colony at Kobe University, we summarized the research papers using WHHL rabbits or WHHLMI rabbits on this website " Bibliography of WHHL and WHHLMI Rabbits") so it will be helpful when planning a research strategy, interpretation of experimental data, and preparing the paper.
