Related Genotype: a/aDescription
This congenic strain was made by mating together, not backcrossing, three individual congenic strains carrying differential alleles already on a C57BL/6J genetic background (B6.C-Igha, B6.PL-Thy1a, and B6.CAST-Gpi1a). This triple congenic is useful as a cellular marker in transplantation studies in conjunction with C57BL/6J inbred mice (Ighb, Thy1b, Gpi1b). Igh is a B cell specific marker, Thy1 is a T cell specific surface marker, and Gpi1 is an enzyme that is widely expressed in mouse tissues, cultured fibroblasts, and in several types of tumors.Development
A 32 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 27 markers covering all 19 chromosomes and the X chromosome, as well as 5 markers that distinguish between the C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N substrains, was performed on the rederived living colony at The Jackson Laboratory Repository. While the 27 markers throughout the genome suggested a C57BL/6 genetic background, 1 of 5 markers that determine C57BL/6J from C57BL/6N were found to be segregating. These data suggest the mice sent to The Jackson Laboratory Repository were on a C57BL/6N genetic background.

| Molecular Note | This allele determines a slower migrating variant of the encoded enzyme and occurs in the wild and in strains A/HeJ, AKR/J, BALB/cJ, C57BR/cdJ, C58/J, CE/J, DBA/2J, DE/J, DW/J, LP/J, MA/J, NZB, PL/J, P/J, RARF, RF/J, SJL/J, ST/bJ, and 129/J. Sequencing analysis identified four nucleotide differences between this allele and Gpi1b. Two differences were silent, while a third difference at position 282 predicts an aspartate for the a allele and an asparagine for the b allele. A fourth difference in the 3' untranslated region was also noted. [MGI Ref ID J:28033] | ||

| General Note |
The Thy1 locus determines a surface antigen present on cells of the thymus, a number of mouse leukemias, brain, and in lesser amounts on lymph node and spleen cells. The allele Thy1a determines an antigenic specificity, Thy-1.1, found in the AKR and RF strains; the allele Thy1b determines an antigenic specificity, Thy-1.2, found in the C3HeB/Fe and many other strains (J:5243, J:5012, J:4469). The Thy1 antigen is probably present on all T lymphocytes and absent from all B lymphocytes, and it thus serves as a valuable T-cell marker (J:5243). It is very widely used in experiments designed to determine the distribution and function of T-cells. Thy1 specifies a T-cell surface glycoprotein, T25, with a molecular weight of 25 kDa (J:5707). The protein appears to be anchored in the cell membrane by a lipid that is either phosphotidylinositol or closely related to it (J:12016). Thy1 may function in the cell membrane as a signal transduction molecule (J:8333). The Thy1 locus, or possibly a gene closely linked to it, controls quantitative expression of a protein that isthe same size as Thy1 and is expressed on thymus and brain but not on lymph node and spleen cells (J:7900). | ||

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 Information
