This mouse strain (including any and all progeny, "MICE") is distributed by The Jackson Laboratory with the following terms and conditions.

HEALTH STATUS ADVISORY

This colony of IL10 deficient mice is maintained under conditions which preserve the presence of potentially strain-unique enteric flora required for the development of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.  This includes the presence of Helicobacter species in this conventional SPF stock which marks the presence of the additional microbiota required for colitis development.

The colony is located in mouse room RB24 which is a room located in our Sacramento, California (JAX® West) operation.  If the health status of these mice prevents their importation into your vivarium, our In Vivo Research Services experts can dose mice with prophylactic or therapeutic compounds and harvest cecum and colon tissue for histopathological analysis of lesion severity. Contact JAX Services to inquire about this service.
