Strain Description
The CXB7/ByJ recombinant inbred strain is widely used because of a deficiency in mu opioid receptors. 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).

Strain Development
BALB/cBy and C57BL/6By inbred strains are the progenitors to the set of CXB recombinant inbred strains developed by Dr. Don Bailey of The Jackson Laboratory.

Gene & Allele Details

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).

Supply Details

Standard SupplyRepository-Live. A collection of over 1000 strains maintained as live colonies. Individual colonies are sized to meet current customer demand. Delivery for orders of 10 mice or less ranges on average from one to eight weeks; mice are generally shipped between four to six weeks of age with a maximum shipping age of ~nine weeks. Colony sizes do not generally support stringent age specifications for large volumes of mice; however custom orders and larger quantities of mice are easily arranged. Estimated ship dates for all orders provided within 48 hours of order placement.
Supply Notes Usually shipped between four and six weeks of age.
This strain is included in the Special Mutant Stock Resource collection.
Genomic DNA is available for this strain from the Mouse DNA Resource.

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.
