Strain Information

Type Inbred Strain; Additional information on Inbred Strains. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Mating System Sibling x Sibling         (Female x Male)   01-MAR-06 Species laboratory mouse H2 Haplotype d Generation F140+30 (06-MAR-13) Generation Definitions

Appearance
albino
Related Genotype: a/a Tyr^c/Tyr^c

Important Note
This strain is homozygous for Cdh23^ahl, the age related hearing loss 1 mutation, which on this background results in progressive hearing loss with onset after 10 months of age.

Description
LG/J mice develop antinuclear antibodies and rheumatoid factor as well as renal disease characterized by glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis, and perivasculitis (Peng et al., 1996). LG/J was the predominant strain used to develop the MRL/LpJ (Stock No. 000486) inbred strain, a model for autoimmunity. LG/J mice are often compared to SM/J (Stock No. 000687) for quantitative trait locus analysis in the areas of atherosclerosis, obesity, and mandible size . These mice are susceptible to diet-induced obesity and diet-induced atherosclerosis. This strain is among the least responsive to phytohemagglutinin (Heiniger et al., 1975).

Development
In 1931, LG/J was developed by selecting for large body size begining (Chai et al., 1961).

Genes & Alleles

Gene & Allele Information provided by MGI

Allele Symbol		Ahrd
Allele Name		d variant
Allele Type		Not Applicable
Common Name(s)		Ahd; Ahk; AhRd; Ahhn; ah; in;
Gene Symbol and Name		Ahr, aryl-hydrocarbon receptor
Chromosome		12
Gene Common Name(s)		Ah; Ahh; Ahre; In; aromatic hydrocarbon responsiveness; aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase; bHLHe76; dioxin receptor; inflammatory reactivity;
General Note		Compared with Ahrd/Ahrd mice, Ahrb/Ahrb individuals have a high inflammatory response to cutaneous application of dimethylbenzanthracene; a high susceptibility to methylcholanthrene- and benzopyrene-induced subcutaneous sarcomas and methylcholanthrene-induced lung tumors; an increased resistance to zoxazolamine-induced paralysis, lindane toxicity, and benzo[a]pyrene-induced aplastic anemia and leukemia; a high susceptibility to acetaminophen-induced hepatic necrosis and cataract formation; and an increased susceptibility to polycyclic hydrocarbon-induced birth defects, stillbirths, resorptions, decreased body weight, ovarian primordial oocyte depletion, and spermatozoal aberrations (J:5822). The Ahrballele is associated with increases in numerous metabolites of chemical carcinogens binding to DNA nucleotides (J:12156). The effectiveness of several mutagens for Salmonella in vitro is enhanced by presence of a liver fraction from Ahrb/Ahrb> mice treated with polycyclic hydrocarbons, but not from similarly treated Ahrd/Ahr mice (J:5564). In contrast, oral doses of benzopyrene cause a high rate of leukemia in Ahrd/Ahrd but not in Ahrd/Ahrd mice, probably because the carcinogenic metabolites produced in responsive Ahrb/Ahrd mice are rapidly degraded in the intestine and excreted in the feces (J:6074). Strain of origin - this allele was found in DBA/2J, AKR/J, 129, SWR, RF, NZB strains
Molecular Note		This allele encodes a 104 kDa receptor that is stabilized by molybdate and has an affinity for ligand 10-100 fold lower than that of the receptor produced by the C57BL/6J allele. PCR sequencing of cDNA revealed ten nucleotide differences between the coding sequences of the DBA/2J and C57BL/6J receptors. Five of the ten differences would cause amino acid changes. One of these, an apparent T to C transition replaces the opal termination codon in the C57BL/6J allele with an arginine codon in the DBA/2J allele. This change would extend translation of the DBA/2J mRNA by 43 amino acids, accounting for the larger size of the peptide produced by this allele (104 kDa vs 95 kDa for the C57BL/6J allele). A second T to C transition changes a leucine codon in the C57BL/6J allele to a proline codon in the DBA/2J allele, and would likely change secondary structure of the peptide and thus ligand affinity.

Molecular Note		Genetic complementation tests have shown allelism between the mdfw (modifier of deaf waddler) locus and the ahl locus. Further analysis has identified an association between ahl and a G to A transition at nucleotide position 753 of Cdh23. This hypomorphic allele causes in frame skipping of exon 7 and reduced message stability. Twenty-seven strains classified with ahl and carrying the 753A allele include: CD1, RBF/DnJ, PL/J, AKR/J, RF/J, BALB/cBy, A/WySnJ, P/J, SENCARA/PtJ, DBA/1J, ALS/LtJ, C58/J, C57BLKS/J, 129P1/ReJ, C57BR/cd, SKH2/J, BUB/Bn, MA/MyJ, LP/J, 129X1/SvJ, NOR/LtJ, A/J, C57BL/6, NOD/LtJ, DBA/2J, ALR/LtJ, C57L/J. Strains classified with ahl that DO NOT carry this mutation include: C3H/HeSnJ, I/LnJ,YBR/Ei, MRL/MpJ. [MGI Ref ID J:86905]

General Supply Notes

• View the complete collection of spontaneous mutants in the Mouse Mutant Resource.
• Genomic DNA is available for this strain from the Mouse DNA Resource.

Important Note

This strain is homozygous for Cdh23^ahl, the age related hearing loss 1 mutation, which on this background results in progressive hearing loss with onset after 10 months of age.

Payment Terms and Conditions

Terms are granted by individual review and stated on the customer invoice(s) and account statement. These transactions are payable in U.S. currency within the granted terms. Payment for services, products, shipping containers, and shipping costs that are rendered are expected within the payment terms indicated on the invoice or stated by contract. Invoices and account balances in arrears of stated terms may result in The Jackson Laboratory pursuing collection activities including but not limited to outside agencies and court filings.

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.
