007218 B6.129S6-Trp53tm2Xu/J
Repository- Live
Mice homozygous for this targeted mutation are viable and fertile. They carry two phosphorylation site disruptions: Ser18 to Ala (S18A), and Ser23 to Ala (S23A). Trp53-dependent apoptosis is essentially abolished in thymocytes. These mice develop spontaneous tumors at approximately 1.5 years of age and also develop a range of malignancies that are distinct from those found in animals carrying either a single S23A mutation or a complete knockout of the gene. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of phosphorylation events, cancer development and apoptosis.

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.

003509 B6.129-Blmhtm1Geh/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Bleomycin (BLM) is a clinically used glycopeptide anticancer agent. It is deaminated in vitro by BLMH. Blmh null mice have decreased viability and fertitility. Only about 65% of the expected number survive the neonatal period. Mice lacking Blmh exhibit variably penetrant tail dermatitis that resembles rodent ringtail. This resembles skin lesions in humans with pellagra, necrolytic migratory erythema, and acrodermatitis enteropathica. Null mice also are more sensitive to acute BLM lethality and develop pulmonary fibrosis following BLM treatment.
002437 FVB/N-Tg(MMTV-Notch4)3Rnc/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
Male mice transgenic for the Notch4 gene (previously called Int3) are sterile, and females fail to lactate. Mammary tissue of females does not develop completely, exhibiting dramatic inhibition of alveolar-lobular development and reduced penetration of the mammary fat pad by ductal epithelium. Glandular epithelia of tissues expressing the activated form of Notch4 generally display severe ductal hyperplasia. Salivary glands fail to differentiate completely. Male transgenic mice exhibit severe epididymal hyperplasia, which is thought to be the cause of their sterility. Both male and female mice develop focal adenomas of the mammary and salivary glands.
002422 STOCK Tg(MtTGFA)42Lmb/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
In the STOCK Tg(MtTGFA)42Lmb/J line liver lesions develop in a progressive fashion, with neoplasia confirmed at autopsy (average age 13 months). Pancreas showed progressive hyperplasia of the stroma, tubular structures and ductular metaplasia, with penetrance of 100%. Unlike mice from the FVB/N-Tg(MtTGFA)100Lmb/J line, STOCK Tg(MtTGFA)42Lmb/J mice do not develop mammary tumors.

Under Development for Production
Hemizygous T1-147 transgenic mice (harboring the E1-T147 transgene) are viable and fertile, with high-level expression of an N-terminal, truncated (1-147 amino acid), and mutant (does not express the small t antigen) form of simian virus 40 large T antigen (TAg) directed to pancreatic acinar cells by the rat elastase 1 (Ela1 or E1) upstream control region. Hemizygous T1-147 transgenic mice exhibit pancreatic dysplasia in the embryonic pancreas, with cancer progression after birth to primary pancreatic acinar cell tumor formation (100% penetrance). These mice have microadenomas and acinar cell carcinomas present as early as 10 weeks of age, and become moribund or show clear evidence of abdominal distention around 20-30 weeks of age. T1-147 transgenic mice with large tumors develop metastatic disease to the liver and mesenteric lymph nodes. The donating investigator reports that the cancer phenotype of these T1-147 transgenic mice is identical to that of their similar T1-127 trans .....

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.
