Description
The transgene integrated into the Y chromosome. These transgenics serve as models for male mammary cancer and ras-mediated solid tumors. The transgene also can be used as a Y-chromosome marker. On the B6,SJL background males develop multiple mammary tumors and salivary gland tumors by one year of age. The salivary tumors are adenocarcinomas arising from serous areas of the submandibular gland. The mammary gland tumors are adenosquamous carcinomas. Microscopic lung metastases were present in 14% of tumor bearing animals. On the FVB background males develop multiple mammary tumors at 6-8 weeks. The tumors are adenosquamous carcinomas with multiple foci of squamous differentiation or adenocarcinomas containing glandular tissue. There is no metastasis observed.

Development
This transgenic strain was developed in the laboratory of Dr. Loretta Nielsen at Schering-Plough Research, Bloomfield, New Jersey. This strain was originally identified as Wap-ras line 69-2.

Promoter Wap, whey acidic protein, mouse, laboratory
General Note

On a genetic background that involves C57BL/6, FVB, and SJL, transgenic male mice develop multiple mammary tumors at 6-8 weeks. The tumors are adenosquamous carcinomas with multiple foci of squamous differentiation or adenocarcinomas containing glandular tissue. No metastasis has been observed.

On a background that involves C57BL/6 and SJL, transgenic male mice develop multiple mammary tumors and salivary gland tumors by one year of age. The mammary gland tumors are adenosquamous carcinomas. The salivary tumors are adenocarcinomas arising from serous areas of the submandibular gland. In 14% of these tumor bearing animals microscopic lung metastases are present.

Molecular Note This transgene contains the murine whey acidic protein promoter and an allele of the human Harvey rat sarcoma viral oncogene gene homolog that contains a point mutation in codon 12. The transgene integrated into the Y chromosome (SJL). [MGI Ref ID J:72262]

Supply Notes
  • 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.

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.
