Strain Information

Type Inbred Strain; Additional information on Inbred Strains. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse H2 Haplotype q Generation F44

Appearance
albino
Related Genotype: Tyr^c/Tyr^c

Important Note
This strain is homozygous for Cdh23^ahl, the age related hearing loss 1 mutation, which on this background results in progressive hearing loss with onset after 10 months of age and may be homozygous for Gnat2^cpfl3, cone photoreceptor function loss 3, which affects bright light (photopic) vision.

Description
The acronym SENCAR is derived from SENsitivity to CARcinogenesis. SENCAR mice are commonly used for studies of susceptibility and resistance to the induction of skin tumors. Dr. Michael Potter of the National Cancer Institute developed three inbred lines, designated A, B, and C, from random breeding of outbred SENCAR mice. Characterization of these mice for sensitivity to skin tumor development indicated that mice of all three inbred strains displayed increased sensitivity to initiation by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), urethane, or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and promotion by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Promotion by mezerein as well as carcinogenesis by repeated treatment with DMBA or MNNG produced papillomas with a high frequency of conversion to squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Compared with outbred SENCAR mice, development of both squamous papillomas and carcinomas was increased at least two-fold by all protocols tested.

Molecular Note		Genetic complementation tests have shown allelism between the mdfw (modifier of deaf waddler) locus and the ahl locus. Further analysis has identified an association between ahl and a G to A transition at nucleotide position 753 of Cdh23. This hypomorphic allele causes in frame skipping of exon 7 and reduced message stability. Twenty-seven strains classified with ahl and carrying the 753A allele include: CD1, RBF/DnJ, PL/J, AKR/J, RF/J, BALB/cBy, A/WySnJ, P/J, SENCARA/PtJ, DBA/1J, ALS/LtJ, C58/J, C57BLKS/J, 129P1/ReJ, C57BR/cd, SKH2/J, BUB/Bn, MA/MyJ, LP/J, 129X1/SvJ, NOR/LtJ, A/J, C57BL/6, NOD/LtJ, DBA/2J, ALR/LtJ, C57L/J.

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.
