| 002087 | B6.129P2-B2mtm1Unc/J | Level 4 |
| Mice homozygous for the B2mtm1Unc targeted mutation have little if any MHC class I protein expression on the cell surface. There are few CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells and under some circumstances a compensatory increase in CD4+ cytotoxic T-cells. Immune responses involving CD8+ T-cells are severely deficient providing a model to assess the role of CD8+ cells and class I MHC in various experimental systems. Hemachromatosis has been noted in certain genetic backgrounds (Rothenberg BE, Voland JR, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 93:1529-34, 1996). 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. This is the case for the strain above. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results

| 002570 | NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid B2mtm1Unc/J | Level 4 |
| Mice homozygous for both the B2mtm1Unc and Prkdcscid (commonly referred to as scid) mutations on the NOD/ShiLtSz background are class I deficient, B and T cell deficient, C-5 deficient (Hc0), and have low NK cells. This strain is an ideal model for xenograft transplantation studies and is an excellent source for insulitis-free, MHC class I-negative islets for transplantation studies. | ||
| 008311 | FVB.129S2(B6)-Hmox1tm1Poss/J | Repository- Live |
| Mice that are homozygous for this targeted mutation are slightly smaller in size than wildtype littermates and exhibit poor grooming and hypoactivity. As early as 20 weeks of age, homozygotes develop anemia with diminished serum iron and increased serum ferritin. Histological analysis reveals iron accumulation in kidney and liver. Elevated oxidized proteins and lipid peroxidation develop in the liver and kidney. Homozygotes develop progressive chronic inflammatory
disease, including enlarged spleen and lymph nodes, inflammatory infiltrates, glomerulonephritis, fibrosis. Homozygous male mice have smaller testis than wildtype controls. Homozygotes occur at a lower than expected frequency, or are not produced, from heterozygous crosses and have decreased postnatal survival. An almost undetectable abnormal gene product (mRNA) is detected by Northern blot analysis of total splenic RNA. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of hemochromatosis, inflammation and iron meta

| 006611 | NOD.129P2(B6)-B2mtm1Unc Tg(HLA-A/H2-D/B2M)1Dvs/DvsJ | Repository- Live |
| NOD mice carrying only the HLA-A/H2-D/B2M transgene, commonly referred to as NOD.HHD, (Stock No. 006604) develop significantly accelerated diabetes onset compared to NOD/ShiLtDvs (NOD) inbred mice.
This mutant stock is also homozygous for the B2mtm1Unc mutation which normally prevents the development of of CD8+ T cells. The presence of the transgene in the B2m-deficient background, however, restores CD8+ T cells, but at a significantly lower level than in NOD inbred mice. Due to the covalently linked nature of the B2M component encoded into the transgene, the transgenic construct is unable to rescue murine MHC class 1 molecules in the NOD.B2m deficient (Stock No. 002309) mice. Thus, these double mutant mice only express human HLA-A2.1. Fifty-five percent of these NOD transgenic B2m-deficient mice develop diabetes b

| 005063 | 129-Hfetm1.1Nca/J | Repository-Cryopreserved |
| Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable and fertile. These mice carry the "C282Y" mutant Hfe allele, which encodes a tyrosine to cysteine amino acid substitution at codon 282. Expression of the missense mutation is detected by RT-PCR analysis. Homozygotes exhibit hemochromatosis, accumulating hepatic iron postnatally. These mice have a phenotype that is intermediate between wildtype mice and mice that are homozygous for the null allele, Hfetm2Nca. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of hereditary hemochromatosis. | ||

| 003812 | B6.129P2-Hfetm1Gfn/J | Repository-Cryopreserved |
| At birth, mice homozygous null for the Hfe gene are viable, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Adult mice are fertile. Full-length Hfe transcripts are not detected in either liver or kidney tissue. A poorly expressed, alternate transcript resulting from a direct splicing event between exons 1 and 4 is detected. At twelve weeks of age, a significant elevation in plasma and hepatic iron concentration is evident as is an increase in levels of saturated transferrin. Excess iron stores may be the result of enhanced duodenal iron absorbtion. This strain represents a viable animal model of human hemochromatosis. | ||

| 002449 | BXSB.129P2(B6)-B2mtm1Unc/J | Repository-Cryopreserved |
| BXSB mice develop spontaneous autoimmune disease characterized by moderate lymph node and spleen enlargement, hemolytic anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and immune complex glomerulonephritis. The disease process in BXSB is strikingly accelerated in males, which live little more than a third as long as females. The acceleration is due to the presence of the Yaa gene on the Y chromosome. Characteristics of mice homozygous for the B2mtm1Unc targeted mutation include a lack of MHC class I protein expression on the cell surface. There are few CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells and under some circumstances a compensatory increase in CD4+ cytotoxic T-cells. Immune responses involving CD8+ T-cells are severely deficient providing a model to assess the role of CD8+ cells and class I MHC in various experimental systems.

| 002455 | MRL-Faslpr.129P2(B6)-B2mtm1Unc | Repository-Cryopreserved |
| Mice homozygous for both the lymphoproliferation spontaneous mutation (Faslpr) and the B2mtm1Unc targeted mutation are viable and fertile. Class I molecule-deficient B2mtm1Unc mice were backcrossed to MRL/MpJ-Faslpr to study the role of MHC class I molecules in the development of systemic autoimmune disease. Double homozygous mutant mice demonstrated a substantial reduction in CD4-CD8- T cells and a diminution of autoimmune disease. Specifically, hypergammaglobulinemia; autoantibodies including anti-DNA, anti-Smith antigen, and rheumatoid factor; and glomerulonephritis were significantly reduced compared to MRL/MpJ-Faslpr homozygous mice. Moreover, the pattern of hypergammaglobulinemia suggests that the requirement for MHC class I proteins is restricted temporally to later stages of the disease. | ||

| 005356 | NOD.129(B6)-B2mtm1Unc Ciitatm1Ccum/BhsJ | Repository-Cryopreserved |
| NOD.129(B6)-B2mtm1UncC2tatm1Ccum/BhsJ is homozygous for linkage markers delineating Idd1-5, 7-10 and 13-15 loci of NOD origin and do not become diabetic. Histology indicates normal islet tissue structure with no cellular infiltration. Islets are intact and produce insulin. FACs analysis of peripheral blood cells of mice homozygote for B2mtm1Unc and C2tatm1Ccum confirmed the absence of MHC I or MHC II cell surface expression, reduced peripheral T-cell populations, deficiency of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells and there is no difference in B-cell numbers when compared with wild-type controls. Additionally, B2mtm1Unc,C2tatm1Ccum double homozygous animals exhibit lower IgG titers and higher IgM titers than wild-type controls. Diabetic NOD females receiving purified islets from NOD.129(B6)-B2mtm1UncC2tatm1Ccum/BhsJ transplanted under the kidney capsule remain normal
