000646 A/J
Level 2
Developed by LC Strong in 1921 from a cross between a Cold Spring Harbor albino and a Bagg albino, the A inbred strain is used widely used in cancer and immunology research. It is highly susceptible to cortisone-induced congenital cleft palate. It has a high incidence of spontaneous lung adenomas, and lung tumors readily develop in response to carcinogens. A high percentage of mammary adenocarcinomas (a large proportion of acinar-type) develop in multiparous females. Rare spontaneous myoepitheliomas arising from myoepithelial cells of various exocrine glands have been observed in The Jackson Laboratory substrains.

A/J mice fed an atherogenic diet (1.25% cholesterol, 0.5% cholic acid, and 15% fat) fail to develop atherosclerotic aortic lesions in contrast to several highly susceptible strains of mice (e.g. C57BL/6J, Stock No. 000664; C57L/J, Stock No. 000668, C57BR/cdJ, Sto .....

005940 B6.129S1-Csf2rbtm1Cgb/J
Repository- Live
Homozygous mice are viable and fertile with no behavioral abnormalities. In response to GM-CSF, bone marrow and splenocytes from homozygous mice fail to exhibit proliferation, enhanced survival in vitro, or synergistic interaction with M-CSF. They also fail to proliferate in response to IL-5. IL-3 binding and responses are unaffected. Cell composition in thymus, spleen, bone marrow, and lymph node is not significantly altered. Circulating eosinophils are dramatically reduced in blood with lesser reduction in bone marrow and tissues. Homozygous mice develop pulmonary peribronchovascular lymphoid infiltrates and areas resembling pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). Consistent with this, mutant mice have greatly increased surfactant protein-B and D accumulation in lung/airway tissue, no attenuation of saturated phosphatidylcholine with advancing age, and high levels of GM-CSF in bronchoaveolar lavage fluid. Homozygous mice are resistant to intradermal Leishmania major infection an .....

006141 B6.129S2-Thbs1tm1Hyn/J
Repository- Live
Mice homozygous for this targeted mutation are viable and fertile, with an approximate 20% decrease in embryo/neonate viability and a mild and variable lordotic curvature of the spine apparent from birth. Homozygous mice have an abnormal, but no full length transcript in multiple tissues. Western analysis confirmed the absence of the protein in platelets. Homozygotes exhibit an increase in the number of circulating white blood cells. During the first four to ten weeks of life, homozygotes exhibit patches of acute and organizing pneumonia. At later time points, there is considerable hyperplasia of the various epithelial cell lineages. Mutant mice also have an increased number of retinal endothelial cells and inappropriate remodeling and maturation of retinal vasculature following injury. On the FVB/N background, spontaneous tumor growth and vasculature are significantly increased compared to wildtype. Mutant mice may be useful in studies of inflammatory responses in the lungs, eye, and .....

006243 B6.129S4-Timp1tm1Pds/J
Repository- Live
Homozygous females and hemizygous males (the gene is X-linked) are viable and fertile. No endogenous transcript is detected in lung tissue from affected mice by Northern blot analysis.. Homozygous mice have increased resistance to corneal and pulmonary infection with P. aeruginosa, and have altered immune, hematopoietic, and vascular permeability in bleomycin-induced lung injury trials. Homozygotes also show increased and continued progression of aneurysm formation compared with wild-type mice in induced thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) models. Mice with this X-linked targeted mutation may be useful in studies of cornea and pulmonary infection, pulmonary injury and aneurysm, as well as of P. aeruginosa resistance in individuals with unresolved, antibiotic-resistant pulmonary infections, such as those often observed in cystic fibrosis patients.

006112 B6.129X1-Ela2tm1Sds/J
Repository- Live
Homozygous mice are viable, fertile and phenotypically normal in the absence of inflammatory stress. Homozygotes do not express the targeted gene in bone marrow myeloid cells. Homozygous mice have increased susceptibility to sepsis, morbidity, and mortality following intraperitoneal injection of Gram-negative (e.g. (K. pneumoniae and E. coli), but not Gram-positive (e.g. (S. aureus), bacteria. Despite this, mutant mice are not at increased risk to spontaneous infection. Although neutrophil, T cell, and macrophage migration/recruitment to the site of infection is unaffected in homozygous mutant mice, neutrophils show impaired bactericidal activity. Further, homozygous mice treated with a broad-spectrum inflammatory stimulus (zymosan) have impaired leukocyte firm adhesion and transmigration as well as reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Upon exposure to cigarette smoke, homozygous mice are protected from the accumulation of neutrophils and macrophages in th .....

000305 B6.Cg-Fbn1Tsk +/+ Pldnpa/J
Repository- Live
Mice homozygous for the pallid spontaneous mutation Pldnpa and nonagouti (a) have pink eyes and a light, yellow-brown coat. The Pldnpa/Pldnpa mice have a slightly lighter coat than strains that are homozygous for the pink-eyed dilution allele (Oca2p/Oca2p). Viability of homozygous mutant mice is slightly reduced. Some homozygotes have slightly abnormal behavior, with abnormal postural responses and head tilting due to the absence of otoliths in the sacculus and utriculus in many but not all mutant mice. The effect of pallid on behavior and otolith morphology appears to be a result of manganese deficiency. Homozygotes display defective mucopolysaccharide synthesis in the otolith matrix and a slower rate of transport of manganese, L-dopa, and L-tryptophane in the brain. Homozygotes have elevated basal and testosterone-induced levels of the kidney lysosomal enzymes b-glucuronidase, b-galactosi .....

006235 B6.Cg-Tg(SFTPC-rtTA)5Jaw/J
Repository- Live
Mice that are hemizygous for this transgenic insert are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These transgenic mice express the reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA) protein under the control of the human SFTPC, surfactant, pulmonary-associated protein C, promoter. In situ hybridization detects rtTA gene product (mRNA) in lung peripheral epithelial cells from adult mice and 15 postconception day aged embryos from doxycycline treated dams. Induction of transgene expression is detected as early as postconception day 12.5 when the pregnant female is treated with doxycycline. When mated to a second transgenic strain carrying a gene of interest under the regulatory control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (tetO), expression of the target gene may be regulated by the tetracycline analog, doxycycline (dox); in the presence of dox, transcription of the target gene is induced in cells where rtTA is .....

Repository- Live
These Scnn1b-transgenic mice overexpress the mouse nonvoltage-gated 1 beta, Scnn1b, under the direction of the rat secretoglobin, family 1A, member 1 (uteroglobin; Clara cell secretory protein) promoter. While the donating investigator reports that most hemizygous transgenic mice (80-90%) survive past postnatal day 14, hemizygous mice at The Jackson Laboratory exhibit an approximately 40% survival rate to weaning age. Hemizygous mice that do not survive die from airway obstruction asphyxia. Mice exhibit chronic inflammation with neutrophil infiltration, chronic mucus hypersecretion and emphysema. These Scnn1b-transgenic mice may be useful in studies of cystic fibrosis, and are available on different genetic backgrounds such as B6;C3H mixed (Stock No. 005315), B6C3Fe hybrid (Stock No. 006176), and C57BL6-congenic (Stock No. 006438).

006206 FVB.129S6-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(HIF1A/luc)Kael/J
Repository- Live
Mice heterozygous for this "ODD-luc" knock-in are viable and fertile with no gross phenotypic or behavioral abnormalities. These mice have the C-terminal portion of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1A) oxygen-dependent degradation domain (ODD) fused to the firefly luciferase (luc) gene. This region of the ODD also contains a proline residue (amino acid 564) that, when hydroxylated, will serve as a binding site for von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein (pVHL). Under normal oxygen concentrations, prolyl hydroxylation by egg-laying-defective nine (EGLN) proteins leads to pVHL-dependent polyubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation (thus, little or no luciferase fluorescence). Under hypoxia, proline hydroxylation is impaired and ubiquitination is attenuated, resulting in stabilization of the fusion protein and high levels of luciferase fluorescence in the hypoxic tissue(s). These "ODD-Luc" bioluminescent reporter mice may be useful in researching transcriptional .....

002909 129-Cyp1a2tm1Gonz/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Most homozygous 129/Sv-Cyp1a2tm1Gonz mice die perinatally with impaired respiratory function due to lung immaturity. Amniotic fluid is not properly evacuated from the lungs at birth, and the alveoli do not fill with air. Lungs of homozygous mutant mice show lower levels of surfactant-associated protein (SAP) at birth than do wild type littermates. The penetrance of this phenotype is incomplete, as approximately 3% of homozygous mutants do survive to adulthood. Surviving animals, although they lack CYP1A2 protein, appear phenotypically normal and can reproduce.

000477 B10.PA-Pldnpa H3e at/SnJ
Repository-Cryopreserved
This minor histocompatibility 3 (H3e) congenic strain is also carrying the closely linked pallid mutation (Pldnpa) as well as the black and tan allele of nonagouti also residing on Chromosome 2. Histocompatibility 3 is one of several loci isolated and identified by Dr. George Snell and co-workers. Histocompatibility gene differences were identified by generating congenic resistant strains and testing for resistance to transplantable tumors. Homozygous pallid mice have pink eyes, a diluted coat color and their viability is slightly reduced. Some homozygotes have slightly abnormal behavior, with abnormal postural responses and head tilting due to the absence of otoliths in the sacculus and utriculus in many but not all mutant mice. The effect of pallid on behavior and otolith morphology appears to be a result of manganese deficiency. Homozygotes display defective mucopolysaccharide synthesis in the otolith matrix and a slower rate of transport of manga .....

003509 B6.129-Blmhtm1Geh/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Bleomycin (BLM) is a clinically used glycopeptide anticancer agent. It is deaminated in vitro by BLMH. Blmh null mice have decreased viability and fertitility. Only about 65% of the expected number survive the neonatal period. Mice lacking Blmh exhibit variably penetrant tail dermatitis that resembles rodent ringtail. This resembles skin lesions in humans with pellagra, necrolytic migratory erythema, and acrodermatitis enteropathica. Null mice also are more sensitive to acute BLM lethality and develop pulmonary fibrosis following BLM treatment.
002619 B6.129-Tgfb3tm1Doe/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Mice homozygous for the Tgfb3tm1Doe mutation are not viable. Mice exhibit cleft palate and possibly developmental defects in the lung.
005963 B6.129S1-Csf2rb2tm1Cgb Csf2rbtm1Clsc/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Mice homozygous at both loci are viable and fertile with no behavioral abnormalities. Steady state hematopoiesis is normal. Bone marrow from homozygous mice fail to exhibit any cellular responses to GM-CSF, IL-5, or IL-3. Like the similar strain (Stock No. 005940; Csf2rbtm1Cgb), double homozygous mice exhibit eosinopenia, increased surfactant accumulation in lung tissue and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), infection resistance, and attenuated tissue repair after injury. This mutant may be useful in studies of PAP, lung physiology and disease, surfactant homeostasis and metabolism, innate immunity, cytokine signaling, myoproliferative disease, hematopoietic cell populations requiring IL-3, GM-CSF, or IL-5 for development and function, and models of ischemic, traumatic, toxic, and inflammatory injuries.
000024 B6.Cg-Pldnpa/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Mice homozygous for the pallid spontaneous mutation pa and nonagouti (a) are pink-eyed and have a light, yellow-brown coat. The coat is a little lighter than that of pink-eyed dilution homozygotes (p/p). Viability of homozygote mutant mice is slightly reduced. Some homoygotes have slightly abnormal behavior, with abnormal postural responses and head tilting due to the absence of otoliths in the sacculus and utriculus in many but not all mutant mice. The effect of pallid on behavior and otolith morphology appears to be a result of manganese deficiency. Homozygotes display defective mucopolysaccharide synthesis in the otolith matrix and a slower rate of transport of manganese, L-dopa, and L-tryptophane in the brain. Homozygotes have elevated basal and testosterone-induced levels of the kidney lysosomal enzymes b-glucuronidase, b-galactosidase, and a-mannosidase, accompanied by lowered enzyme excretion in the urine. Pallid mice have a deficiency in serum a1-antitrypsi .....

004161 B6;129-Fgf7tm1Efu/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Mice homozygous for this targeted allele are viable, fertile and normal in size. No Fgf7 transcript is detected. By 2 months of age, the hair coat takes on a matted/greasy appearance that becomes more prominent with age. Homozygote kidneys are markedly smaller and posses structural anomalies. Morphometric analyses indicate a reduction (~30% of wildtype) in the total number of nephrons present. Kidney development appears to be effected as early as embryonic day 16.5. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies related to kidney disease.
005315 B6;C3H-Tg(Scgb1a1-Scnn1b)6608Bouc/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
These Scnn1b-transgenic mice overexpress the mouse nonvoltage-gated 1 beta, Scnn1b, under the direction of the rat secretoglobin, family 1A, member 1 (uteroglobin; Clara cell secretory protein) promoter. Approximately 40-60% of hemizygous mice die between birth and 4 weeks of age due to airway obstruction asphyxia. Histological analysis reveals that mucus accumulation, plaques and plugs in airways occur postnatally. Basal and amiloride-sensitive short-circuit currents in tracheal tissue are increased. Airway surface liquid (ASL) volume, mucus transport and clearance are reduced. Bronchial lavage and histological analysis shows mutant mice exhibit characteristics of cystic fibrosis lung disease including chronic bronchitis, airway inflammation, airway lumen infiltration of macrophage and neutrophils, and goblet cell metaplasia. These Scnn1b-transgenic mice may be useful in studies of cystic fibrosis, and are available on different genetic backgrounds such as B6;C3H mixed (Stock N .....

006241 STOCK Hhiptm1Amc/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Mice heterozygous for this targeted mutation are viable and fertile. Homozygotes die from respiratory failure shortly after birth. Expression of the "knocked-in" lacZ gene is detected in a pattern similar to the endogenous transcript (in lung, skeleton, stomach, duodenum, spleen, and pancreas), and serves as a faithful reporter for Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. Because Hh and fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) signaling are abnormal, homozygous mice have defects in many Hh target tissues. Although the primary lung buds form in homozygotes, lung branching morphogenesis is defect beginning at 10.5 days postcoitus (dpc), and fails to generate a complete respiratory tree. The single left lobe also is significantly reduced, and total lung size at birth is diminished 67-75% compared to wildtype. In addition, homozygous mice have delayed mineralization of the endochondral skeleton, as well as impaired pancreas morphogenesis, islet formation and endocrine cell proliferation. These mutant mice ma .....

Repository-Cryopreserved
Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. No gene product (mRNA or protein) is detected by Northern or Western blot analysis of lung tissue from homozygous mice. Homozygotes are more susceptible (pneumonia and sepsis) to group B streptococcal, P. aeruginosa, and H. influenzae infections due to impaired bacteria clearance. Alveolar macrophages have impaired superoxide radical production. Administration of surfactant protein A increases phagocytosis of bacteria by macrophages. When experimentally infected with respiratory syncytial virus or influenza A, homozygotes have increased viral titer, pulmonary inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine levels. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies of host defense against respiratory pathogens and innate immune function.
