006447 B6.129S6(CBA)-Cebpatm1Dgt/J
Repository- Live
Mice carrying this C/EBPalpha "floxed" allele (C/EBPalphaF) are viable and fertile. The floxed allele functions similarly to the wildtype allele. In mice homozygous for C/EBPalphaF and expressing an interferon-inducible Cre recombinase (introduced by breeding to a cre-expressing strain; see Stock No. 003556), C/EBPalpha activity is disrupted, leading to defective myeloid cell development, increased hematopoietic stem cell repopulating activity, and significantly increased myeloblast population in the bone marrow compartment. In combination with an appropriate Cre transgenic strain, these mutant mice may be useful in studies of hematopoietic cell (e.g. myeloid and basophil progenitor cell) development and function, cancer (e.g. acute myeloid leukemia), and alveolar cell differentiation.
006230 B6.Cg-Cebpatm1Dgt Tg(Mx1-cre)1Cgn/J
Repository- Live
Mice homozygous for this C/EBPalpha "floxed" allele (C/EBPalphaF) and hemizygous for the Mx1-cre transgene are viable and fertile, and exhibit no abnormalities in the hematopoietic system. In the absence of cre expression, the C/EBPalphaF allele functions similarly to the wildtype allele. Mx1-Cre transgene expression can be induced by administration of either interferon (alpha or beta) or synthetic double-stranded RNA (such as poly I:C), leading to deletion of the "floxed" gene. Following 3-4.5 weeks of poly I:C treatment, deletion efficiency is greater than 95% in hematopoietic tissues, and C/EBPalpha protein is undetectable in bone marrow. These poly I:C-treated, mice have defective myeloid cell development, increased hematopoietic stem cell repopulating activity, and a significantly increased myeloblast population in the bone marrow compartment. These mutant mice may be useful in studies of hematopoietic cell (e.g. myeloid and basophil progenitor cell) d .....

001737 B6.A-H2-T18a.HRS-Hrhr/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Mice homozygous for the hr mutation have a higher incidence and earlier onset of leukemia, reducible by virus-specific antibody. Deficiency of splenic T helper cells (Ly-1+) may account for low cellular immune response of homozygous mutant mice. The coat is normal on hr/hr mice up to 10 days but then hair is lost from the follicle. Waves of hair growth with few thin fuzzy hairs ocur at monthly intervals for some time but homozygotes eventually become continuously hairless. Vibrissae are repeatedly regrown and shed, becoming more abnormal with age. Toenails are long and curved. There is hyperkeratosis of statified epithelium and the upper part of hair canals beginning at 14 days. Hair club formation is abnormal. Cysts form from the hyperkeratotic upper part of hair canals and sheaths of abnormal follicles stranded in dermis. Some cysts also form from sebaceous glands. All cysts undergo sebaceous transformation and later keratinization. In an attempt to offer alleles on .....

002922 D2.HRS-Hrhr/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
006209 FVB.Cg-Tg(Tal1-tTA)19Dgt/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Hemizygotes are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any behavioral abnormalities. Hemizygotes express tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (tTA) in bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and in common myeloid progenitors (CMP)). tTA activity also is detected in lung. Little to no tTA activity is detected in thymus, lymph node, intestine or spleen. When bred to other transgenic mice carrying a gene of interest coupled to a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE; tetO), expression of the target gene in the bitransgenic offspring can be induced by withdrawal of tetracycline or doxycycline. This strain represents an effective tool for generating bitrangenic animals to study inducible gene expression in blood stem and progenitor cells.

These mice were originally designed to be bred with transgenic mice harboring a TRE-BCR-ABL1 transgene (Stock No. 006202), creating bitransgenic offspring as a mo .....

006202 FVB/N-Tg(tetO-BCR/ABL1)2Dgt/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Hemizygotes are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any behavioral abnormalities. Transgene expression is directed by the tetracycline-responsive element (TRE; tetO). When hemizygotes are bred with another transgenic mouse expressing either reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (rtTA) or tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (tTA) under the regulation of tissue-specific promoters , BCR-ABL1 fusion protein expression can be regulated in the appropriate tissue of the bitransgenic offspring with the tetracycline analog, doxycycline.

These mice originally were designed to be bred with transgenic mice harboring a Tal1-tTA transgene (see Stock No. 006209), creating double transgenic offspring as a model for studies of the Philadelphia chromosome and inducible chronic myeloid leukemia.

When bred to a strain expressing tTA in the epithelial cells of secretory organs and skin (see Stock No. .....

000673 HRS/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Mice homozygous for the hr spontaneous mutation have a higher incidence and earlier onset of leukemia, reducible by virus-specific antibody. Deficiency of splenic T helper cells (Ly-1+) may account for low cellular immune response of homozygous mutant mice. The coat is normal on hr/hr mice up to 10 days but then hair is lost from the follicle. Waves of hair growth with few thin fuzzy hairs ocur at monthly intervals for some time but homozygotes eventually become continuously hairless. Vibrissae are repeatedly regrown and shed, becoming more abnormal with age. Toenails are long and curved. There is hyperkeratosis of stratified epithelium and the upper part of hair canals beginning at 14 days. Hair club formation is abnormal. Cysts form from the hyperkeratotic upper part of hair canals and sheaths of abnormal follicles stranded in dermis. Some cysts also form from sebaceous glands. All cysts undergo sebaceous transformation and later keratinization. HRS/J mice, fed an ather .....

000147 WLHR/LeJ
Repository-Cryopreserved
WLHR/Le is a balanced stock with wabbler-lethal (wl) and hairless (hr) spontaneous mutations maintained in repulsion on Chromosome 14. Homozygous wabbler-lethal mutant mice are first recognizable at 12 days of age and usually die at about four weeks. They have an abnormal wobbly gait and a pronounced tremor when walking. In an extensive study of behavioral development of this mutant, homozygous wabbler-lethal mice were shown to be deficient in nearly all behaviors tested. Histological examination showed myelin degeneration widely distributed throughout the CNS, particularly in the vestibulocerebellar and spinocerebellar systems. Electron microscopy showed widespread axonal (Wallerian) degeneration in the medulla with secondary myelin dissolution. Similar abnormalities were present to a lesser extent in the basal ganglia, spinal cord, and cerebellum and in the optic nerve. Homozygous hairless mutant mice have a higher incidence and earlier onset of leukemia, reducible by v .....
