Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Mutant Strain
Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Spontaneous Mutation
Mating SystemHomozygote x Homozygote         (Female x Male)
Specieslaboratory mouse
GenerationN1F55 (14-DEC-07)

Appearance
agouti
Related Genotype: A/A

Important Note
The first 4 litters born to homozygous females should be fostered. BALB/cByJ (Stock No. 001026) or B6EiD2F1 (Stock No. 003550) are recommended as good foster mothers for this strain. This strain is homozygous for the retinal degeneration allele, Pde6brd1.

Strain Development
Toxic milk Jackson (Atp7btx-J) arose spontaneously in strain C3H/HeJ in 1988. One outcross was made to C3HeB/FeJ and then sibling matings were used to maintain the stock. The stock is maintained in the homozygous condition with the use of foster mothers.

Gene & Allele Details

Allele Symbol Atp7btx-J
Allele Name toxic milk Jackson
Strain of OriginC3H/HeJ
Gene Symbol and Name Atp7b, ATPase, Cu++ transporting, beta polypeptide
Chromosome 8
Gene Common Name(s) Atp7a; Hts; PINA; PWD; WC1; WD; WND; Wilson protein; toxic milk; tx;
General Note Tests at the University of Massachusetts proved its allelism to the original toxic milk mutation (J:28232).
Molecular Note The mutation comprises a G to A base substitution at position 2135 in exon 8 of the gene. This is predicted to result in a Gly712Asp missense mutation in the second putative membrane-spanning domain of the encoded protein. [MGI Ref ID J:71896]
 
Allele Symbol Pde6brd1
Allele Name retinal degeneration 1
Common Name(s) rd; rd-1; rd1; rodless retina;

  Considerations for Choosing Controls

Colony Maintenance

Breeding & HusbandryLitters must be fostered prior to 14 days of age. On an agouti background, pups are dirty gray in coat color. On a non-agouti background, pups are bronze/copper in color. The first 4 litters will have all pups phenotypically dirty white and dead by 14 days due to the reduced copper concentration in the birth mother's milk. Pups can be fostered at up to 10-14 days of age, and survive, even from the first litter. The fifth litter and beyond may be phenotypically normal in coat color and live normally to survive to a year of age. These healthy progeny are still homozygous and their first 1 to 4 litters will be affected. At The Jackson Laboratory BALB/cByJ or B6EiD2F1 are used as foster mothers for this colony.

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.
