002693 B6.129S1-Il12btm1Jm/J
Level 4
Mice homozygous for the Il12btm1Jmtargeted mutation have a severely restricted ability to mount a TH1 response to in vivo endotoxin administration as evidenced by decreased interferon-gamma production although IL2 (IL-2) production is not compromised. The TH2 response is enhanced as evidenced by increased secretion of IL4 (IL-4). Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses are reduced. Also see the Il12a-deficient strains (Stock No. 002691 & 002692).
006412 B6.129-Il12btm1Lky/J
Repository- Live
Mice homozygous for this bicistronic "yet40" allele are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. The IRES-EYFP is inserted downstream of the endogenous stop codon, allowing for normal expression of the endogenous gene and simultaneous EYFP reporter expression. ELISA assays confirm that p40 protein is expressed at similar levels in homozygous mutant and wildtype mice. The EYFP reporter marks dendritic cell (DC) and macrophage lineage cells that produce p40 following stimulation with toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands both in vivo and in vitro. These mice may be useful for labeling activated IL12/23 p40 expressing cells in studies of immunology and immunity, TLR signal cascades, cancer immunity, and vaccine development.
002694 C.129S1-Il12btm1Jm/J
Repository- Live
Mice homozygous for the Il12btm1Jm targeted mutation have a severely restricted ability to mount a TH1 response to in vivo endotoxin administration as evidenced by decreased interferon-gamma production although IL2 (IL-2) production is not compromised. The TH2 response is enhanced as evidenced by increased secretion of IL4 (IL-4). Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses are reduced. Also see the Il12a-deficient strains (002691 & 002692).
009618NOD.129(B6)-Il12btm1Lky/JbsJ
Under Development for Production
The EYFP reporter, carried in this NOD congenic targeted knock-in strain, marks dendritic cell (DC) and macrophage lineage cells that produce p40 following stimulation with toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands both in vivo and in vitro. These mice may be useful for labeling activated IL12/23 p40 expressing cells.
