Repository- Live
The AXB and BXA set of RI strains are useful in the genetic analysis of several complex diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, cleft palate, and hydrocephalus. The individual strains within the RI set also differ in their susceptibility to infectious diseases and in their responses to alcohol, stress, and endotoxin.

001826 AXB13/PgnJ
Repository- Live
Through high density SNP analysis, some AXB and BXA recombinant inbred strains were shown to be the same or nearly the same genetically. AXB13/PgnJ and AXB14/PgnJ are considered ?sister strains? being identical throughout much of the genome but differing in large regions of Chromosomes 11, 12, 13, and in small regions of a few other Chromosomes. Because these two strains are "near congenics" a nomenclature change has been made to update AXB14/PgnJ to AXB13a/PgnJ. In general, 'sister" strains (those with suffixes of a or b) should not be used for primary screening/QTL mapping. However, if a QTL is located in a region of difference in a sister recombinant inbred then this strain can serve as a ?near congenic? for additional analysis.

Repository- Live
Through high density SNP analysis, some AXB and BXA recombinant inbred strains were shown to be the same or nearly the same genetically. AXB18/Pgn, AXB19/Pgn, and AXB20/Pgn were found to be highly similar in their overall genomes, but with particular Chromosomes differing between them. Two of these "sister" strains were renamed. AXB19/Pgn was designated the primary strain since it has the best traceable history, and therefore its name remained unchanged. AXB18/Pgn was renamed AXB19a/Pgn and AXB20/Pgn was renamed AXB19b/Pgn. In general, the "sister" strains (those with suffixes of a or b) should not be used for primary screening/QTL mapping.

Repository- Live
Mice homozygous for this delta-opioid receptor mutant allele (DOR-) are viable and fertile. DOR-selective ligand binding is absent in vitro on brain membranes from homozygous mice. Unlike mutant mice deficient in kappa- or mu-opioid receptors (Stock No. 007558 or 007559, respectively), homozygous DOR- mutants exhibit increased anxiety and depressive-like behavior but no alteration of spontaneous pain perception. Homozygous DOR- mice also have increased ethanol self-administration and increased inflammatory pain. These DOR mutant mice may be useful in studying the biological activity of opioids andanalgesics, mechanical nociception, inflammatory pain, and emotional disorders.

Mice homozygous for this mu-opioid receptor mutant allele (MOR-) are viable and fertile. MOR-selective ligand binding is absent on brain membranes from homozygous mice. Homozygous MOR- mice exhibit a lack of morphine analgesia, reward, and withdrawal. This is accompanied by decreased mechanical, thermal, and chemical pain thresholds. Homozygous MOR- mice also show decreased ethanol self-administration and decreased THC-conditioned place aversion. In contrast to mutant mice deficient of delta- or kappa-opioid receptors (Stock No. 007557 or 007558, respectively), MOR- homozygotes exhibit hypolocomotive spontaneous stress responses. Indeed, the reduced anxiety and depressive-like behavior observed in MOR- mutants is in stark contrast to kappa-opioid receptor deficient mice. These MOR mutant mice may be useful in studying the biological activity of opioids, analgesics, and responses to mechanical, chemical and thermal nociception at a supraspinal level.

In 2004 a phenotype of small body size was found to be segregating in this colony after recovery from cryopreservation. It appears that this phenotype is segregating recessively in this strain and is present in the cryopreserved bank stock.

Under Development for Production
Mice homozygous for the GCN2.KO4 mutant locus (also called GCN2.KO4-, GCN2-, GCN2.KO4ex, or GCN2-KO) are viable, fertile and overtly indistinguishable from wild-type mice, with little if any mRNA expressed from the mutant locus. Homozygous GCN2-deficiency is associated with altered inflammatory responses and altered stress responses, including sensitivity to nutritional deficiencies and aberrant eating behavior. As GCN2 is a protein kinase that phosphorylates eIF2 (eukaryotic initiation factor 2) in response to environmental stresses (amino acid starvation, proteasome inhibition and UV irradiation) to reduce global translation and activate stress-related transcription factors (such as NF-kappaB) to alleviate cellular injury or alternatively induce apoptosis, these GCN2.KO4 mutant mice may be useful for such immunology, inflammatory, immunity cell biology, or neurobiology research.

Of note, mice with a conditional allele (loxP-flanked exon XII .....

Under Development for Production
Mice homozygous for the GCN2.KO4conditional allele (also called GCN2.KO4c) are viable and fertile, with loxP sites flanking exon XII of the targeted gene. When bred to mice that express Cre recombinase, the resulting offspring will have this region (containing amino acid residues 606-648 encoding the critical lysine 618 required for kinase activity) deleted in the cre-expressing tissue(s). GCN2 is a protein kinase that phosphorylates eIF2 (eukaryotic initiation factor 2) in response to environmental stresses (amino acid starvation, proteasome inhibition and UV irradiation) resulting in a reduction of global translation and activation of stress-related transcription factors (such as NF-kappaB). These GCN2.KO4conditional mice may be useful in studies related to eIF2 phosphorylation in response to environmental stresses.

Of note, mice with a traditional "knockout" (deletion of exon XII) are also available (see Stock No. For more information please see the full description on the strain data sheet

New Strains Under Development The Jackson Laboratory serves as a worldwide distributor and national repository for common and rare strains of inbred mice and mice carrying spontaneous mutations or induced mutations (i.e., transgenic, targeted/"knockout", or chemically induced mutations). At any one time, we have over 100 strains at various stages of development and colony expansion. Strains "Under Development" fall into two categories depending on the anticipated demand from the scientific community.
  1. Strains that will be made available from a live distribution colony at The Jackson Laboratory.
    These strains are designated as: "Under Development for Distribution Colony"
  2. Strains that will be made available through the Cryopreservation Repository.
    These strains are designated as: "Under Development for Cryopreservation Repository"
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you register interest in strains Under Development. The anticipated demand for a strain enables us to determine effectively the distribution plan for each strain Under Development. Registering interest also provides benefits to you (including advance notification of pending availability). Whether a strain is made available from a live colony OR from our cryopreservation repository, you may want to consider the option of Dedicated Supply. To learn more about Dedicated Supply, go to Services.
