This strain is homozygous for the retinal degeneration allele Pde6brd1.Strain Description
Mice homozygous for the beige 2J spontaneous mutation (Lystbg-2J) display characteristics very similar to the original beige mutation (Lystbg). The mouse phenotype closely resembles Chediak-Higashi syndrome in man and similar conditions in mink and cattle. Abnormal giant lysosomal granules occur in all tissues with granule-containing cells, including granulocytes, lymphocytes, cells of the liver, kidney, central nervous system, pancreas, and thyroid, and the ducts of most glands; in type II pneumocytes; in mast cells; and in retinal pigment epithelium. Granulocytes from beige homozygous mutant mice show defective chemotaxis and reduced bactericidal activity. Beige mice are more susceptible than controls to pneumonitis and to various viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections. Natural killer (NK) cells from beige mice exhibit decreased endogenous cytotoxic activity. Beige mice also have a defective cytotoxic T-cell and cytotoxic antibody response to allogeneic tumor cells. Syngeneic tumor cells grow better in beige mice than in littermate controls, an effect thought to be due to the deficiency of NK cells. Beige mice have platelet storage pool deficiency, leading to a prolonged bleeding time. The immunodeficiency of beige mutant mice has been used, especially in combination with the scid mutation (Prkdcscid), in tissue graft and disease studies.

| General Note | The molecular fault in the Lystbg-2J mutation may be an intronic retrotransposition event causing decreased transcription and mRNA instability (J:34205). | ||
| Molecular Note | Quantitative reverse transcription showed a five-fold decrease in Lyst mRNA in mice homozygous for this allele. The molecular basis for this decrease is not known. [MGI Ref ID J:34205] | ||

| 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. |

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.Ordering and Purchasing Information
