Description
The wild-derived inbred strain SPRET/Ei is often used in crosses with common inbred strains to create highly polymorphic panels for genetic mapping. SPRET/Ei mice are resistant to high doses of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) (Staelens et al 2002). Mice from a C57BL/6 x SPRET/Ei F1 cross were protected from TNFa-induced arthritis and partially protected against induced allergic asthma (Staelens et al 2004). SPRET/Ei may be useful in understanding certain inflammatory diseases.

Genes & Alleles

Gene & Allele Information provided by MGI

Allele Symbol		Ahrb-3
Allele Name		b-3 variant
Allele Type		Not Applicable
Common Name(s)		Ahb-3;
Strain of Origin		M. spretus
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		C57BL/6 carries the responsive Ahrb allele; DBA/2 carries nonresponsive Ahrd. Heterozygotes (Ahrb/Ahrd) are responsive (J:5282). Later work identified a second (J:8895) and later a third (J:22144) allele conferring response. Thus the allele in C57, C58, and MA/My strains is now Ahrb-1; Ahrb-2 is carried by BALB/cBy, A, and C3H; and Ahrb-3 by Mus spretus, M. caroli, and MOLF/Ei. The nonresponsive strains AKR, DBA/2, and 129 carry Ahrd (J:22144). Nucleotide and amino acid sequence differences between Ahrb-1 and Ahrd have been determined (J:17460). Strain of origin - this allele was found in M. caroli, M. spretus, MOLF/Ei strains
Molecular Note		This allele encodes a high affinity, 105 kDa receptor with slightly more heat stability than the receptor encoded by the BALB/cBy allele. [MGI Ref ID J:22144]

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.
