002448 129S1/SvImJ
Level 2
Historically, the 129 inbred mice are known for the high incidence of spontaneous testicular teratomas, though the incidence differs between substrains.(1-3% in 129 parental substrains; 30% in teratoma substrains.) More recently, 129 mice are widely used in the production of targeted mutations due to the availability of multiple embryonic stem cell lines derived from them. There is major genetic variation within the 129 "family", which has led to an update of the nomenclature and a division of the substrains into three major groups: parental substrains (129P), steel substrains (129S) and "teratoma" substrains (129T). Investigators using 129 substrains for targeted mutagenesis should be careful in the selection of the appropriate 129 substrain to match the embryonic stem cell line. For a complete history of the numerous 129 substrains, see Simpson, et al., 1997.

100410 WBB6F1/J-KitW/KitW-v/J
Level 2
Kit mutant mice possess pleiotropic defects in pigment-forming cells, germ cells, RBC's and mast cells. In addition, they exhibit impaired resistance to parasitic infection and an intrinsic progenitor cell defect. KitW-v homozygotes resemble KitW homozygotes in color, anemia, and germ cells, but many of them survive to maturity. The lack of germ cells in mutant mice leads to the development of some ovarian tumors (mesotheliomas and granulosa cell), associated with an overproduction of pituitary gonadotropic hormone. KitW/KitW-v double heterozygotes are viable but sterile because of germ cell deficiency. They are also mast cell deficient. KitW/KitW-v double heterozygotes lack intermediate cells, derived from melanoblasts, in the stria vascularis resulting in endocochlear degeneration, loss of endocochlear potential, and hearing impairment.

000160 B6.D2-KitlSl-d/J
Repository- Live
The multiple steel mutations (KitlSl) behave in a semidominant fashion and cause deficiencies in pigment cells, germ cells, and blood cells paralleling those caused by the Kit locus mutations (dominant spotting alleles). Most of the alleles at steel locus cause severe anemia in utero and death by 15 to 16 days of gestation in homozygous mutant mice. However, steel-Dickie homozygotes (KitlSl-d/KitlSl-d) and compounds of steel and steel Dickie (KitlSl/KitlSl-d) are viable, black-eyed white, are usually sterile in one or both sexes, and have severe macrocytic anemia. Heterozygous steel mice have a diluted coat color with a small amount of white spotting, are viable and fertile, and may have a slight macrocytic anemia. Primordial germ cells are absent in the nonviable steel homozygotes and severely reduced in steel Dickie and steel heterozygotes. Mast cells are virtually absent in skin and other tissu .....

The multiple steel mutations (KitlSl) behave in a semidominant fashion and cause deficiencies in pigment cells, germ cells, and blood cells paralleling those caused by the Kit locus mutations (dominant spotting alleles). Many steel alleles cause severe anemia resulting in death in utero of homozygous mutant mice. However, mice homozygous for some steel mutations and compound heterozygotes for two steel alleles (e.g., KitlSl/KitlSl-d) are viable and have black eyes and a white coat; they have severe macrocytic anemia, and both sexes are usually sterile due to failure of germ cells to migrate correctly during development. Mice heterozygous for a single steel mutation have diluted coat color with a small amount of white spotting, are viable and fertile, and may have a slight macrocytic anemia.

002722 129S6/SvEv-Mostm1Ev/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Mice homozygous for the Mostm1Ev targeted mutation are viable. Homozygous males are fertile; the littersize of homozygous females is markedly lower than that of wild type or heterozygous mice. Eggs lacking Mos undergo spontaneous parthenogenetic activation (extrusion of the second polar body and pronucleus formation without fertilization). Ovarian cysts develop in homozygous females as young as one month. Some of the ovarian cysts consist of several tissue types, including possible thyroid tissue, similar to about 10% of all benign cystic teratomas in human beings.

003382 B10.D2-Tg(C3-1-TAg)cJeg/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
This transgenic strain is a model for the study of multistage oncogenesis in the prostate and mammary glands. Male transgenic mice develop prostatic hyperplasia in early life that progresses to adenoma or adenocarcinoma in about half of the animals which survive longer 7 months of age. Female animals generally develop mammary intraepithelial neoplasia with similarities to DCIS by 3 months of age with subsequent development of mammary adenocarcinoma by 6 months of age in 100% of the animals. About 10 - 15% of female mice develop lung metastases, although lung metastases from prostate cancer is extremely rare. Bone metastases have not been observed. Please note that the phenotype description above was developed for this allele on an FVB background (stock number 3381). The mammary and prostate tumor phenotypes may be different on the C57BL/10 background in this strain.

006564 B6(C)-KitW-41J Gusbmps/BrkJ
Repository-Cryopreserved
Mice homozygous for the "mps" (mucopolysaccharidosis type VII or MPS VII) mutation are devoid of expression of the lysosomal enzyme beta glucuronidase. Homozygous animals are viable, but females have a deficiency in lactation. Skeletal and connective tissue anomalies in both males and females are believed to prevent successful breeding. As this mutation is recessive, heterozygous mice are phenotypically similar to wildtype. Homozygotes exhibit short and thickened long bones (smaller than heterozygous or wildtype littermates), "pug type" appearance of the nose, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, corneal clouding, and deafness. In appearance, homozygous KitW-41J mice are mostly white with black eyes and brown or grey spots. MPS VII mice are a model of the beta glucuronidase enzyme deficiency in humans called Sly Disease. They may be useful in developing new therapies (enzyme replacement, cell transplantation, gene therapy) broadly applicable to other lysosomal storage disease .....

002188 B6.129S7-Amhtm1Bhr/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Male mice homozygous for the Amhtm1Bhr mutation have testes that are fully descended and produce functional sperm. They also develop a uterus which interferes with sperm transfer rendering most infertile. The testes develop Leydig cell hyperplasia. Homozygous females are fertile.
000122 B6.C3-KitW-44J/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
KitW-44J heterozygotes have white-tipped feet and a white tail tip although the belly spot standardly found in KitW* mutations is very small in this mutant, sometimes restricted to only a few hairs. Homozygotes have a flecked pelt that is predominantly white, especially ventrally, with pigmented patches particularly at the lateral borders. The pigmentation fades with age yielding black-eyed white mice by approximately 9 months of age. While many KitW-44J homozygotes are viable, fertility is diminished. Homozygous females have greatly reduced fertility and gonads that are smaller in size with reduced activity. Homozygous males are sterile although spermatogenesis occurs. The KitW-44J allele does not produce anemia in either its heterozygous or homozygous state. The red blood cell count, white blood cell count, hematocrit, and mean cell volume are normal. However, bone marrow transplantation experiments reveal that t .....

Repository-Cryopreserved
Kit mice possess pleiotropic defects in pigment-forming cells, germ cells, RBC's and mast cells. In addition, they exhibit impaired resistance to parasitic infection and an intrinsic progenitor cell defect. KitW-v homozygotes resemble KitW homozygotes in color, anemia, and germ cells, but many of them survive to maturity. The lack of germ cells in mutant mice leads to the development of some ovarian tumors (mesotheliomas and granulosa cell), associated with an overproduction of pituitary gonadotropic hormone. Heterozygous lx mice show preaxial polydactyly (including hyperphalangy of the first digit) of the hindfeet. Homozygotes show preaxial polydactyly or oligodactyly of the hindfeet, reduction of the tibia, loss of part of the femur and pubis, decrease in number of presacral vertebrae, and anomalies of the urogenital system including horseshoe kidney, hydronephrosis, and hydroureter.

003380 B6.FVB-Tg(C3-1-TAg)cJeg/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
TgN(C3-1-TAg)cJeg mice are transgenic for the SV-40 Large tumor antigen (TAg) driven by the rat prostatic steroid binding protein (C3(1))promoter. Male mice survive up to 11 months of age. They develop hyperplastic changes in the prostate epithelium which progress to prostate adenocarcinoma in the majority of mice after 8 months of age. Carcinogenic changes in female mice begin with development of hyperplasia of the mammary gland ducts and acini by 3 months of age and progress to multifocal mammary adenocarcinoma with death by 6 month of age. Homozygous mothers can bear offspring but pregnancy appears to accelerate tumor development and foster mothers are required for pups due to lactation difficulties. Evidence of pulmonary metastases has been seen in both male and female mice. These C3-1-TAg transgenic mice provide a model to study TAg-induced progression of hormone responsive tumors. Please note that the phenotype description above was developed for this allele on an FVB backgrou .....

Kit mice possess pleiotropic defects in pigment-forming cells, germ cells, RBC's and mast cells. In addition, they exhibit impaired resistance to parasitic infection and an intrinsic progenitor cell defect. KitW-v homozygotes resemble KitW homozygotes in color, anemia, and germ cells, but many of them survive to maturity. The lack of germ cells in mutant mice leads to the development of some ovarian tumors (mesotheliomas and granulosa cell), associated with an overproduction of pituitary gonadotropic hormone. Mutations at the Mitf locus affect eye size, pigmentation, and the capacity for secondary bone resorption. Mice homozygous for the white allele (MitfMi-wh) display an overall absence of pigment cells with the exception of the retina which expresses a few giving the eye a small amount of pigment. Homozygotes show slight microphthalmia but a normal skeleton. Heterozygotes (MitfMi-wh/+) have a dilut .....

The steel mutations cause deficiencies in pigment cells, germ cells, and blood cells paralleling those caused by the Kit locus mutations. Most steel homozygous mice are severely anemic in utero and die usually at 15 to 16 days of gestation. However, compounds of two MgfSl mutants (e.g. MgfSl/MgfSl-d) are viable, black-eyed white, are usually sterile in one or both sexes, and have severe macrocytic anemia. Heterozygous mice have a diluted coat color with a small amount of white spotting, are viable and fertile, and may have a slight macrocytic anemia. Primordial germ cells are absent in the nonviable MgfSl/ MgfSl homozygotes and deficient in the MgfSl/+ heterozygotes. Mast cells are virtually absent in skin and other tissues of steel mutant mice.

Research Strain
SWXJ-9 female mice develop ovarian granulosa cell carcinomas with an incidence of approximately 12% and a latency of 4-6 weeks. Tumor incidence can be increased to approximately 40% by treatment with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or testosterone immediately after weaning. Treatment with estradiol during this period completely suppresses tumorigenesis. Neoplasias are first observed as hemorrhagic follicles in which the antrum is blood-filled and lined with irregular masses of proliferating granulosa cells. By 6-10 weeks of age, the primary tumor encompasses the entire ovary. Metastases to lung, renal node, and liver are common by 6 to 9 months of age, with other sites occasionally affected. Susceptibility to granulosa cell carcinomas is controlled by a small number of genes, including a major susceptibility locus on Chromosome 4 and a major modifier locus on the X chromosome.

NZO mice of both sexes exhibit high birth weights and are significantly heavier at weaning age, Severe obesity (including both visceral and subcuatneous fat depots) develops even when mice are maintained on a standard diet containing 4.5% fat. Both males and females of the NZO/Hl substrain exhibit impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), but subsequent type 2 maturity onset (NIDDM) diabetes development is limited to males, with a phenotype penetrance of 50% or less. NZO/Hl mice also show anti-insulin receptor antibodies, a defect in leptin transport, and hypertension. The genetic lesion appears to be within the islets of Langerhans as transfer of pancreatic islets from normal mice returns body weights and blood glucose levels to within normal range. Ovarian granulosa cell tumors, lymphomas, duodenal, and lung tumors have also been noted to occur in NZO mice at an elevated frequency. F1 hybrids of NON/Lt and NZO/Hl provide a new model of obesity-induced diabetes. Male (NON/Lt x NZO/Hl)F1 hyb .....

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.
