albino
Related Genotype: Tyrc/TyrcImportant Note
This strain is homozygous for Gnat2cpfl3, cone photoreceptor function loss 3, which affects bright light (photopic) vision.Strain 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.

| 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. |

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.Ordering and Purchasing Information
