Supply Details
| Standard Supply | Repository-Cryopreserved. Must Be Recovered. Please refer to pricing and supply notes for further information. |
| 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; Email: jaxservices@jax.org.
This strain is included in the Mouse Mutant Resource collection.

JAX® Mice & Services Conditions of Use.
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.
