Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Transgenic
Specieslaboratory mouse
Donating Investigator Peter Curtin,   New England Medical Center
Generation?pN1

Strain Description
Homozygotes are viable and fertile. The transgene in line Epo33-72 encompasses a 33 kb genomic fragment including 4 kb of human EPO along with 20 kb of 5' flanking sequence and 8.5 kb of 3' flanking sequence. Anemia produced by phelebotomy or treatment with phenylhydrazine induces the transgene in kidney and liver with some variability. Cobalt and hypoxia also reportedly induce the transgene. Brain, heart, kidney, spleen and liver were tested in animals which did not have induced anemia and constitutive expression was not found.

Gene & Allele Details

Allele Symbol Tg(EPO33)72Ptc
Allele Name transgene insertion 72, Peter Curtin
Mutation Made By Peter Curtin,   New England Medical Center
Strain of OriginC57BL/6J x SJL/J
Expressed Gene EPO, erythropoietin, human
Promoter Ucp, mitochondrial uncoupling protein,
General Note Anemia produced by phelebotomy or treatment with phenylhydrazine induced the transgene in kidney and liver with some variability; cobalt and hypoxia also induced the transgene. In the absence of induced anemia, constitutive expression was not found in brain, heart, kidney, spleen and liver.
Molecular Note The transgene contains a mitochondrial uncoupling protein promoter (Ucp) and a 33 kb genomic fragment including 4 kb of human erythropoietin (EPO) along with 20 kb of 5' flanking sequence and 8.5 kb of 3' flanking sequence. Several lines were created.Gene copy number in line 72 is 2. [MGI Ref ID J:92650]

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.
This strain is included in the Induced Mutant Resource Colony collection.
Genomic DNA is available for this strain from the Mouse DNA Resource.

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.
