Important Note
The C3H/HeJ background strain is homozygous for the retinal degeneration mutation Pde6brd1, which on this strain background causes blindness by 3 weeks of age.

Strain Description
Mice homozygous for the recessive Spnb4qv-lnd2J mutation are identifiable by 2 weeks of age by their small size relative to their littermates. Their bodies quiver, and their movements are less coordinated than those of littermates. Mutants become progressively wasted and die by 4 weeks of age. (Cook 1995; Samples 2003) Their phenotype is more severe than that of mice homozygous for the original Spnb4qv-lnd allele, which survive at least 10 months. Spnb4qv-lnd/Spnb4qv-lnd mice were found to have dystrophic axons in the lower lumbar and sacral spinal cord. The dystrophic axons were observed in both white and gray matter, but particularly in dorsolateral white matter (Bronson et al. 1992). The acoustic brainstem response ABR) pattern of Spnb4qv-lnd2J homozygous mice exposed to click stimuli of 80, 70, 60 and 50 decibels exhibited only the first expected peak, indicating the mice have normal cochlear function but attenuated brainstem response (Zheng 2003). The similar ABR pattern of an Spnb4qv mouse may be viewed the following web page. Note that this was generated using lower-volume clicks than for Spnb4qv-lnd2J.

Supply Details

Standard SupplyRepository-Cryopreserved. Must Be Recovered. Please refer to pricing and supply notes for further information.
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; Email: jaxservices@jax.org.

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.
