| 002650 | B6.129S2-Il6tm1Kopf/J | Level 3 |
| Mice homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable and fertile. No gene product (mRNA) is detected by RT-PCR analysis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenged macrophages. Bioassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis of serum from LPS-challenged homozygotes reveals no detectable protein activity. These interleukin 6 (IL6) mutant mice show defects in responses to various viruses and in inflammatory responses to tissue damage or infection. Of note, IL6-mutant mice may be available on different genetic backgrounds including mixed B6;129S2 (Stock No. 002254), C57BL/6J (Stock No. 002650), and BALB/cByJ. | ||
| 004650 | B6.129-Tlr2tm1Kir/J | Level 4 |
| Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. No gene product (protein) is detected by Western blot analysis of isolated peritoneal macrophages. Bone marrow derived macrophages do not respond to spirochete (Borrelia burgdorferi) lipoprotein challenge, although non-lipoprotein sonicate stimulates activation. Arthritis due to B. burgdorferi infection, as assessed by rear ankle swelling, is more severe in mutant mice. Tissues of infected mutants can contain up to 100 times higher bacteria levels than those found in wildtype littermates. Elevated spirochete numbers persist 8 weeks post-infection. Homozygotes do not produce TNF-alpha or IL-6, and do not develop symptoms of illness when treated with leptospiral (Leptospira interrogans) lippolysaccharide (LPS). This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of host response to bacterial endotoxins such as septic shock. | ||
| 003173 | B6.129-Cd47tm1Fpl/J | Repository- Live |
| Mice homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, and display no obvious phenotypic abnormalities. Homozygous mutant mice display normal blood counts except for a reduction in the CD3+ fraction of peripheral lymphocytes. Integrin-associated protein (IAP; CD47) expression in heterozygous mice was approximately 40% of wildtype. Intraperitoneal injection of virulent Escherichia coli kills IAP-deficient mice, indicating a defect in the host defense pathway. This response appears to be secondary to both delayed polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) migration to the site of infection and to defective activation at the site. | ||
| 006621 | B6.129P2(C)-Ccr7tm1Rfor/J | Repository- Live |
| Homozygous mice are viable and fertile and show delayed primary B or T cell immune responses. Lymph nodes from homozygous mice are devoid of naive T cells and dendritic cells (DCs), but the T cell populations in the blood, the red pulp of the spleen, and in the bone marrow are greatly expanded. Secondary lymph organs exhibit morphological abnormalities, and adoptive transfer experiments demonstrate impaired B- and T-cell migration. In a model of acute allogeneic tumor rejection, homozygous mice fail to reject subcutaneously injected MHC class I mismatched tumor cells, and cytotoxic activity of allospecific T cells is severely compromised. These mutant mice (along with CXCR5-deficient mice - Stock No. 006659) - may be useful in immunological studies of chemokine receptors, including T- and B-cell function in primary and adaptive immune responses, entry of lymphocytes and dendritic cells into secondary lymphoid organs (and their hom

| 004781 | B6.129P2-Lyz2tm1(cre)Ifo/J | Repository- Live |
| This strain expresses Cre recombinase from the endogenous Lyzs locus. When crossed with a strain containing loxP site flanked sequence of interest, Cre-mediated recombination results in deletion of the targeted gene in the myeloid cell lineage, including monocytes, mature macrophages, and granulocytes. Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. This strain represents an effective tool for generating myeloid cell-specific targeted mutants. | ||
| 003726 | B6.129S-Cd14tm1Frm/J | Repository- Live |
| Mice that are homozygous null for Cd14 are viable and fertile. No Cd14 protein product is detected in thioglycollate elicited peritoneal (T-EP) macrophages by Western blot analysis. Unlike wildtype T-EP macrophages, T-EP macrophages derived from these animals fail to secrete TNF-alpha and IL-6 in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Such a response is observed when Cd14 -null T-EP macrophages are exposed to whole bacteria (in the form of E. coli bioparticles), apparently by a Cd14-independent mechanism. | ||
| 005763 | B6.129S1-Nod2tm1Flv/J | Repository- Live |
| Homozygous mice are viable and fertile with normal lymphoid and myeloid cellularity and no intestinal inflammation up to 6 months of age. Homozygotes do not express the targeted gene in spleen or intestinal crypts. Null mice, as well as antigen presenting cells derived from them, lack the protective immunity (IgG1, interleukin-6, and NF-kappaB-related responses) normally afforded by endogenous protein recognition of its ligand, bacterial muramyl dipeptide (MDP). Mice homozygous for the mutation have increased susceptibility to oral (intragastric) bacterial challenge and diminished cryptdins. This mouse may be useful in studies of Crohn's disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases, innate immunity, signal transduction, and bacterial susceptibility. | ||
| 006848 | B6.129S2(C)-Il8rbtm1Mwm/J | Repository- Live |
| The donating investigator reports that homozygous mice are viable and fertile but few pups are produced, and they need a gnotobiotic facility to thrive. Homozygous mice have several abnormalities, including neurological defects, impaired wound healing, impaired angiogenesis, and altered growth of induced/implanted tumors. Homozygotes may also exhibit splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and increased susceptibility to various pathogens due to impaired neutrophil recruitment and decreased pathogen clearance during innate immune responses. These mutant mice may be useful in studies of inflammation and immunology and cancer biology.

| 006144 | B6.129S2(C)-Itgaetm1Cmp/J | Repository- Live |
| Mice that are homozygous for this targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. No endogenous gene expression is detected in intraepithelial lymphocytes by FACS analysis or on TGF-beta1-treated splenocytes by immunoprecipitation. Homozygous null mice exhibit reduced numbers of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes and lamina propria lymphocytes. These mice may be useful in studies of the immune system, including T cell function. In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results become available. | ||
| 006659 | B6.129S2(Cg)-Cxcr5tm1Lipp/J | Repository- Live |
| Homozygous (CXCR5-deficient) mice are viable and fertile. Multiple lymphoid organs lack detectable levels of targeted protein expression using flow cytometry, and RNA transcripts are also absent in spleen cells. Homozygous mutant mice exhibit a complex pattern of lymph node (LN) developmental defects (e.g. deficient in inguinal, iliac and parathymic LN, but apparently normal mesenteric LN) accompanied by impaired Peyer's patch development. In addition, CXCR5-deficient mice show a completely disorganized splenic microarchitecture, lacking segregated T- and B-cell areas within the splenic white pulp. These mutant mice (along with CCR7-deficient mice: Stock No. 006621) may be useful in immunological studies of chemokine receptors, including T- and B-cell function in primary and adaptive immune responses, entry of lymphocytes and dendritic cells into secondary lymphoid organs and their homing to T- and B-cell zones therein.

| 006087 | B6.129S4-Cxcl10tm1Adl/J | Repository- Live |
| Homozygous mice are viable, fertile, and have no overt morphological or developmental abnormalities. No endogenous gene expression is observed in bone marrow-derived macrophages before or after IFN-gamma stimulation. Homozygous mice have defective T cell responses, including impaired proliferation and IFN-gamma secretion following antigenic challenge (129Sv background). In experimental models of T helper-1 (Th1)-mediated immune responses, homozygous-deletion leads to diminished immune function; contact hypersensitivity is reduced (129Sv background) and diminished threshold for disease expression in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE, human model of multiple sclerosis) (C57BL/6 background). After injection with a neurotropic coronavirus MHV, null mice (on a B6;129Sv background) exhibit impaired viral clearance, decreased CD4+/CD8+ infiltration into the brain, and are protected from viral-induced demyelination. Similarly, homozygous mice (on a C57BL/6 ba

| 006122 | B6.129S4-Mbl1tm1Kata Mbl2tm1Kata/J | Repository- Live |
| Mice homozygous for both mannose-binding lectin (MBL)-A and MBL-C targeted mutations (termed MBL-null) are viable, fertile, and normal in size with no obvious developmental defects. Histological examination of multiple organs from 6-10 week old mice shows no abnormalities. MBL-null mice have no endogenous gene expression in liver (the principal site of MBL synthesis) and no protein detectable in serum. While the classical complement pathway is unaffected in MBL-null mice, the lectin-dependent complement pathway is non-functional. MBL-null mice have increased mortality following intravenous injection of S. aureus associated with abnormal serum levels of TNFalpha and IL-6 (decreased at 2h, elevated at 24h post injection). Cyclophosphamide-induced febrile neutropenic MBL-null mice inoculated with S. aureus have greatly increased susceptibility to abscess formation in kidney, liver, and lung (but not spleen). These same treated mice also have persistent bacteremia despite a r

| 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

| 006908 | B6.Cg-Ikbketm1Tman/J | Repository- Live |
| Homozygous IKKepsilon mutant mice are viable and fertile. Homozygous deletion results in a complete loss of the endogenous kinase function in lung, spleen, and embryonic fibroblasts. These mice have increased susceptibility to viral infection due to defective inteferon (IFN) signaling. These IKKepsilon mutant mice may be useful in immunological studies involving IFN signaling and host responses to infection. | ||
| 005217 | B6;129S1-Tlr3tm1Flv/J | Repository- Live |
| Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Northern blot analysis detects a truncated gene product (mRNA), which is not functional. Unlike wildtype macrophages, macrophages derived from these animals fail to produce inflammatory cytokines, IFN-alpha or IFN-beta when challenged with poly(I:C), polyinosine-polycytidylic acid, a synthetic dsRNA analog. Splenocytes isolated from homozygotes do not respond to viral dsRNA and have diminished IL-6 production. Mice homozygous for the mutation are resistant to poly(I:C) induced shock and produce lower levels of IL-12. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of the toll-like receptor pathway of innate immune response. | ||
| 002254 | B6;129S2-Il6tm1Kopf/J | Repository- Live |
| Mice homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable and fertile. No gene product (mRNA) is detected by RT-PCR analysis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenged macrophages. Bioassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis of serum from LPS-challenged homozygotes reveals no detectable protein activity. These interleukin 6 (IL6) mutant mice show defects in responses to various viruses and in inflammatory responses to tissue damage or infection. Of note, IL6-mutant mice may be available on different genetic backgrounds including mixed B6;129S2 (Stock No. 002254), C57BL/6J (Stock No. 002650), and BALB/cByJ (Stock No. 001026). | ||
| 007225 | FVB.129(B6)-Usp18tm1Dzh/J | Repository- Live |
| Homozygous Usp18 (or Ubp43) mutant mice on the FVB/N genetic background are viable and fertile, exhibiting none of the severe neurologic disorders that lead to embryonic lethality or early death reported for Ubp43-deficient mice on a C57BL/6 or mixed B6;129 genetic background. In contrast to wildtype mice, thymi from homozygous mice injected with LPS exhibit no protein from the targeted gene. Expression of the lacZ cassette is observed in both heterozygous and homozygous brain tissues. Homozygous mice are hypersensitive to type I interferon (IFN) and undergo apoptosis upon IFN stimulation. Ubp43-deficiency results in enhanced and prolonged STAT1 phosphorylation, DNA binding, and increased induction of hundreds of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs). Homozygous mice exhibit greater resistance to the cytopathic effects caused by a number of viruses (including lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and Sindbis virus (SNV)). Ubp43-defici

| 004753 | B6.Cg-Tg(Il1rn)1Dih/J | Repository-Cryopreserved |
| These transgenic mice overexpress the secreted mouse Il1rn under the control of endogenous regulatory elements. The transgene contains the sequence encoding the secreted protein with a point mutation (G to A) in exon 3. These mice have an estimated 8 copies of the transgene in tandem array. Northern blot analysis of liver tissue following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin challenge detects overexpression. RT-PCR analysis of corneal tissue detects higher levels of gene product (mRNA) than wildtype controls. The Donating Investigator reports that hemizygous mice are viable and fertile, whereas homozygous mice are sickly and die prematurely. Transgenic mice are less susceptible to LPS challenge than wildtype controls, but are more susceptible to experimental Listeria monocytogenes infection. Following endotoxin (LPS) challenge serum IL-1 levels are higher. Mice hemizygous for the transgene exhibit an intermediate susceptibility. Severity of stromal keratitis caused by herpes simpl
