GenerationF23N1 (28-MAR-04)

Strain Development
The Ca-9J allele of Krt71 arose spontaneously in a BALB/cBy histocompatibility mutant in 1988. Krt71Ca-9J was bred to homozygosity and maintained via sibling mating. In 1993 homozygotes at F24 were mated to generate embryos for cryopreservation. In 2003 recovery of these embryos proved difficult and thus recovered homozygotes were outcrossed to BALB/cByJ resulting in this BALB/c-Krt71Ca-9J strain.

Gene & Allele Details

Allele Symbol Krt71Ca-9J
Allele Name caracul 9 Jackson
Strain of OriginBALB/cBy
Gene Symbol and Name Krt71, keratin 71
Chromosome 15
Gene Common Name(s) AA589543; Ca; Cu; K6IRS1; KRT6IRS; KRT6IRS1; Krt2-6g; MGC119390; MGC119391; caracul; curly; expressed sequence AA589543; keratin complex 2, basic, gene 6g; mK6irs; mK6irs1;
Molecular Note Sequence analysis of Krt2-6g identified the spontaneous deletion of codon 140, comprised of nucleotides 418, 419, and 420 (CAA). The deleted codon predicted an asparagine in the alpha-helical rod domain. This molecular lesion is the same that has been identified in Krt2-6gCa-Rin, CaJ, and Ca10J.

Supply Details

Standard SupplyRepository-Cryopreserved. Must Be Recovered. Please refer to pricing and supply notes for further information.
Supply Notes Cryopreserved Embryos
This strain is also available as cryopreserved embryos from our Repository. Orders for cryopreserved embryos are supplied subject to a signed agreement that must be returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Experienced technicians at The Jackson Laboratory have recovered frozen embryos of this strain successfully. We will provide you enough embryos to perform two embryo transfers. The Jackson Laboratory does not guarantee successful recovery at your facility. For complete information on purchasing embryos from our repository, please visit our Cryopreserved Embryos web page.
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.
One to two pairs will be recovered to establish a Dedicated Supply of mice. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services: Tel: 1-800-422-6423 or 1-207-288-5845; Email: jaxservices@jax.org.
This strain is included in the Mouse Mutant 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.
