Description
Mice express a T-cell receptor (V alpha 11.1 / V beta 3) specific for a carboxy-terminal fragment of pigeon cytochrome c and the Ek (class II MHC) molecule. Mice have been backcrossed a limited number of generations to C57BL/6 and fixed for H2b. Since C57BL/6 lacks the Ek allele, this mouse must be crossed to a strain that expresses Ek to study the interaction of the transgenic T-cell receptor with the pigeon cytochrome c antigen. When crossed with a strain carrying Ek, F1 progeny express an abnormally high percentage of class II MHC restricted mature CD4+CD8- cells. The peripheral T-cell population is almost exclusively CD4+. The lack of expression of Ek in the transgenic line allows it to serve as a universal donor for crossing the transgene onto other strains expressing Ek .

Development
This class II MHC-restricted transgenic strain was developed in the laboratory of Dr. Stephen Hedrick at the University of California, San Diego.

Genes & Alleles

Gene & Allele Information

Allele Symbol Tg(TcrAND)53Hed
Allele Name transgene insertion 53, Stephen M Hedrick
Allele Type Transgenic (random, expressed)
Common Name(s) AD10TCR-Tg; AND TCR; CC; TcrAND; Tg(TcrAND);
Mutation Made By Stephen Hedrick,   University of California at San Diego
Strain of Origin(C57BL/6 x SJL)F2
Expressed Gene Tcrb, T-cell receptor beta chain, mouse, laboratory
Expressed Gene Tcra, T-cell receptor alpha chain, mouse, laboratory
General Note The transgenic TCR is expressed on virtually all T cells in mice expressing Ek. Transgenic mice on a background that involves C57BL/10, C57BL/6, and SJL show expression of a rearranged T-cell receptor specific for the carboxy-terminal fragmentof pigeon cytochrome c and the Ek molecule, resulting in a major subpopulation of T cells restricted to class II MHC proteins. These mice have an abnormally high percentage of mature CD4+CD8- cells, a peripheral T-cell population is almost exclusively CD4+ and show no expression of I-Ek.
Molecular Note Rearranged TCR alpha and beta genes containing endogenous promoter and enhancer sequences were coinjected into the micronucleus of 1 cell embryos. Both constructs are specific for the carboxyterminal fragment of pigeon cytochrome c and the Ekmolecule. [MGI Ref ID J:85777]

Standard SupplyRepository-Live. A collection of over 1000 strains maintained as live colonies. Individual colonies are sized to meet current customer demand. Delivery for orders of 10 mice or less ranges on average from one to eight weeks; mice are generally shipped between four to six weeks of age with a maximum shipping age of ~nine weeks. Colony sizes do not generally support stringent age specifications for large volumes of mice; however custom orders and larger quantities of mice are easily arranged. Estimated ship dates for all orders provided within 48 hours of order placement.

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.
