Specieslaboratory mouse

Appearance
black and tan
Related Genotype: at Edn3ls/at +

black with white spots, early lethal
Related Genotype: at Edn3ls/at Edn3ls

Important Note
This strain is homozygous for at and segregating for Edn3ls.

Description
Mice homozygous for the lethal spotting mutation (Edn3ls) resemble piebald mice (Ednrbs/Ednrbs) mice. Homozygous mutant mice exhibit considerable white spotting and like homozygotes for the piebald-lethal allele (Ednrbs-l) usually develop megacolon. Lethal spotting mutant mice usually die in the third week of life from the megacolon abnormality, which is associated with deficiency of intrinsic ganglion cells in the lower colon. A few homozygotes may survive and breed. This strain is also homozygous for the black and tan coat color mutation (at).

Genes & Alleles

Gene & Allele Information

Allele Symbol Edn3ls
Allele Name lethal spotting
Allele Type Spontaneous
Common Name(s) ls;
Strain of OriginC57BL-a
Gene Symbol and Name Edn3, endothelin 3
Chromosome 2
Gene Common Name(s) ET3; MGC15067; MGC61498; RGD1564825; lethal spotting; ls; preproET-3;
General Note Lethal spotting mutant mice usually die in the third week of life from the megacolon abnormality, which is associated with deficiency of intrinsic ganglion cells in the lower colon. A few homozygotes may survive and breed.

Other alleles of this geneserve as models for WAARDENBURG-SHAH SYNDROME. This allele was not studied in this context.

Molecular Note RT-PCR analysis of this allele revealed a missense C to T change at nucleotide 409 of the coding region which results in a substitution of an Arg-137 residue with a Trp residue. [MGI Ref ID J:22207]
 
Allele Symbol at
Allele Name black and tan
Allele Type Spontaneous
Strain of OriginEnglish fancy stock
Gene Symbol and Name a, nonagouti
Chromosome 2
Gene Common Name(s) AGSW; AGTI; AGTIL; ASP; As; MGC126092; MGC126093; SHEP9; agouti; agouti signal protein; agouti suppressor;
General Note The black and tan mutation was found by Dunn (J:15011) in a strain obtained from an English fancier. The back is black and the belly cream or yellow. Effects are recessive to A on back but dominant on belly. A/at mice resemble Aw/-.Dermal--epidermal recombination experiments have shown that the regional differences in color are determined by gene action in the dermis (J:5672).This allele is recessive to A and Aw on the dorsum and dominant to all agouti alleles on the ventrum except for Aw from which it is indistinguishable (J:78801) .
Molecular Note This allele comprises a 6 kb insertion containing a retrovirus-like transposable element VL30 and a single 526 bp repeat into the first intron of the agouti gene at the same position as for alleles a and Aw. [MGI Ref ID J:16984]

Supply Notes
  • Cryorecovery - Standard.
    The recovery process begins when a signed agreement form is returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Although results vary by strain, at least two males and two females (two pairs) will be provided, typically within 15 weeks of our receipt of the signed agreement form. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful or only one pair is recovered, a second recovery will be done, extending the delivery time to approximately 25 weeks. At least one member of each pair will be of known genotype and will carry the mutation if it is a mutant strain. Please note that pairs may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation of the strain. Mating schemes are sometimes modified for successful cryopreservation. Price represents a repository maintenance fee, which includes the cost of recovery of the strain from the cryopreservation resource and the periodic replacement of the frozen embryos used for recovery.

    Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
    One to two pairs will be recovered to establish a Dedicated Supply of mice. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 or 1-207-288-5845.

  • Genomic DNA is available for this strain from the Mouse DNA Resource.
Important NoteThis strain is homozygous for at and segregating for Edn3ls.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.

JAX® Mice & Services Conditions of Use

“Each recipient institution, including its employees and other researchers under its control (RECIPIENT), of mice or services using mice from The Jackson Laboratory (TJL) agrees that such mice, descendants of those mice derived by inbreeding or crossbreeding, including unmodified derivatives of those mice or their descendants (“MICE”) shall not be: (i) used for any purpose other than the internal research of the RECIPIENT, (ii) sold or otherwise provided to any third party for any use, or (iii) provided to any agent or other third party to provide breeding or other services with respect to MICE. Acceptance of MICE from TJL shall be deemed agreement by RECIPIENT to these conditions, and departure from these conditions requires The Jackson Laboratory’s prior written authorization.”
