Appearance

Related Genotype: a/a Tyrp1b/Tyrp1b Tyrc/Tyrc

Important Note
This strain is homozygous for a naturally occurring insertion in Fgfr2 resulting in aberrant splicing, however, our sequencing data indicates that the insert orientation is opposite to the published information (Kuslak 2007). The mutation, seminal vesicle shape (svs), is associated with abnormal morphology of the prostate and seminal vesicles.

Strain Description
Like BALB/cByJ, this recombinant inbred carries the mutation hippocampal lamination defect or Hld, an allele responsible for abnormal neuronal migration to the pyramidal cell layer (Nowakowski RS, et al, Jnl Neurogen, 1984).

General Note Seminiferous tubules in male mice of the CXBI/ByEss recombinant inbred strain were found to be tubular and smooth, in contrast to normal mice such as C57BL/6By males, in which the seminal vesicles are curved and convoluted. A recessive autosomal mutationapparently occurred early in the inbreeding of the CXB recombinant inbred lines, as the abnormality was not present in either of the parental strains, C57BL/6ByEss or BALB/cByEss, but is present in both CXBI/ByJax and CXBI/ByLac. The mutation has been given the name and symbol seminal vesicle shape, svs. It appears to be linked to Tyr on Chr 7. In segregating crosses, svs/svs homozygotes had slightly lighter seminal vesicles than normal, though the weights of other androgen target organs were not reduced. Seminal vesicles responded to exogenous testosterone by increased size, but their shape did not change. The protein pattern under SDS--acrylamide gel electrophoresis differed between parent lines, but was not affected by the svs gene. A difference in the electrophoretic pattern for 27 kDa proteins was attributed to a new gene, Svp4 (J:9441).
Molecular Note Insertion into intron 10 of a 491-bp mouse leukemia virus long terminal repeat (MLV-LTR) sequence results in aberrant alternative splicing of the transcript with exclusion from most mature mutant mRNA species of exon 8IIIb, which encodes the domain required for specific binding to FGF ligands in developing prostate and seminal vesicle mesenchyme.

Allele Symbol Hld
Allele Name hippocampal lamination defect
Strain of OriginBALB/cJ
General Note Abnormal laminar organization of the pyramidal layer of the cerebellum, particularly in the proximal segment of the layer, occurs in the BALB/cJ strain (J:5787). A single gene, Hld for hippocampal lamination defect, was shown to cause this abnormality in a cross of BALB/c with C57BL/6 and in the CXB recombinant inbred strains (J:13989). In normal strains, the latest formed or youngest neurons migrate past the earlier formed or older neurons to a position in the pyramidal layer that is superficial to that of the older cells. In BALB/cJ, the positions are reversed, with the older cells lying superior to the younger ones (J:5787). Since mossy fibers form synapses primarily with the older cells, this aberrant pattern of cell migration in BALB/c leads to adifferent pattern of mossy-fiber synapses, easily visualized with Timm's stain (J:5486). The dendritic excrescences induced by contact with mossy fibers on late-generated pyramidal cells in +/+ mice occur at sites on both the apical and basal dendrites; in Hld/Hld mice, they occur in two sites on the apical dendrites only (J:12029).

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.
