A knockout mouse whose genome includes an inactivated CRTH2 gene. The knockout mouse is obtained by subjecting to a serial passage a chimeric mouse originating from an early embryo to which a CRTH2-gene-knocked-out mouse embryonic stem cell has been introduced. Also disclosed is a detection method which includes employing, as an index, pathological condition of the knockout mouse to which the test substance has been administered, to thereby detect, in vivo, characteristics of a test substance in relation to CRTH2, or functions of CRTH2 in the living body.
