Development
This strain was developed in the laboratory of Dr. Willem J. De Grip at Erasmus Universiteit, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Mice of strains homozygous for Prph2Rd2 and for Pde6brd1 were crossed to produce double heterozygotes; these F1 animals were then intercrossed, and mice homozygous for both mutations were selected from the F2 for further breeding. The Pde6brd1 strain used was derived from an intercross following 8 generations of backcrossing the wild type Pde6b allele from C57BL/LiA onto the C3Hf/HeA background; this homozygous Pde6brd1/Pde6brd1 line was the partner strain of the homozygous Pde6b wildtype strain C3A.BLiA-+Pdeb (Stock No. 001912), derived from the same intercross. The latter was the parent strain of the Prph2Rd2 strain, C3HeA.BLiA-+Pde6b.O20A-Prph2Rd2 (see Stock No. 001979), used in the initial cross leading to the present strain (Schalken et al. 1990; S. Sanyal, personal communication). Thus, the background of Stock No. 001957 is primarily C3Hf/HeA, but small regions of the genome may be derived from O20/A and/or from C57BL/LiA.

Allele Name retinal degeneration 1

Common Name(s) Pdebrd1; rd; rd-1; rd1; rodless retina;
Gene Symbol and Name Pde6b, phosphodiesterase 6B, cGMP, rod receptor, beta polypeptide
Chromosome 5
Gene Common Name(s) CSNB3; PDEB; Pdeb; RP40; nmf137; phosphodiesterase, cGMP, rod receptor, beta polypeptide; r; rd; rd-1; rd1; rd10; retinal degeneration; retinal degeneration 1; retinal degeneration 10;
General Note CBA/J mice carry this allele.
Molecular Note Two mutations have been identified in rd1 mice. A murine leukimia virus (Xmv-28) insertion in reverse orientation in intron 1 is found in all mouse strains with the rd1 phenotype. Further, a nonsense mutation (C to A transversion) in codon 347 that results in a truncation eliminating more than half of the predicted encoded protein, including the catalytic domain has also been identified in all rd1 strains of mice. A specific degradation of mutant transcript during or after pre-mRNA splicing is suggested. [MGI Ref ID J:11513] [MGI Ref ID J:4366] [MGI Ref ID J:51361]

Allele Type Spontaneous
Common Name(s) Prph2Rds; Rd-2; Rds; RdsRd2; rds-; retinal degeneration slow;
Strain of OriginO20/A
Gene Symbol and Name Prph2, peripherin 2
Chromosome 17
Gene Common Name(s) AOFMD; AVMD; Nmf193; PRPH; RDS; RP7; RSRDS; Rd-2; Rd2; Rds; TSPAN22; neuroscience mutagenesis facility, 193; retinal degeneration 2; retinal degeneration, slow; retinal degeneration, slow (retinitis pigmentosa 7);
Molecular Note The mutation is an insertion of approximately 10 kb in the gene after nucleotide 899 (numbering of the encoded mRNA), disrupting the protein coding sequence in exon 2. The inserted DNA was similar to both the TSE of mice, repeated elements found in the H2 complex, and to the mouse early transposon (ETn). Northern blot analysis demonstrated that an aberrant 12 kb transcript was produced from this allele, although at reduced levels compared to wild-type. This allele is predicted to encode a truncated protein with its carboxy terminal 116 amino acids replaced by 35 amino acids from sequences in the insertion. Mutant mice doubly homozygous for two retinal degeneration mutations (Pde6brd1 and RdsRd2) shows an intermediate level of mRNAs for the beta subunit of cGMP-PDE and for several other phototransduction related proteins, suggesting an interaction between Pde6brd1 and RdsRd2.

Supply Notes
  • Cryorecovery - Standard.
    We will fulfill your order by providing at least two pair of mice, at least one animal of each pair carrying the mutation of interest. The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. Please inquire if larger numbers of animals with specific genotype and genders are needed. Animals typically ship between 13 and 16 weeks from the date of your order. If a second cryorecovery is needed in order to provide the minimum number of animals, animals will ship within 25 weeks. IMPORTANT NOTE: The genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation, or that discussed in the strain description. Please inquire about possible genotypes which will be recovered for this specific strain. The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.

    Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
    Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 (from U.S.A., Canada or Puerto Rico only) or 1-207-288-5845 (from any location).

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.
