Related Genotype: a/aDescription
Homozygous transgenic mice carry multiple copies of the lacZ plasmid construct pUR288. The copy number and size of the construct (5kb) render this transgenic ideal for studies requiring the quantitation of mutation rates in virtually any tissue. This model can be further used to identify specific mutation types including small and large deletions, insertions, and point mutations in vivo.Development
The investigator designed a plasmid-based transgenic animal model and developed the methodology to rescue plasmids from their integrated state into E. coli hosts. By using a positive selection system, only plasmids harbouring a mutant lac Z gene give rise to a colony. These principles have now been worked out in apractical assay applicable to a C57BL/6 transgenic mouse, homozygous for the pUR288 plasmid. The lacZ reporter transgene is part of the pUR288 plasmid, of which approximately 20 copies are chromosomally integrated head to tail.

Cryopreserved Mice - Ready for Recovery
Animals Provided
Price (US dollars $) Cryorecovery* $3000.00 At least two mice that carry the mutation (if it is a mutant strain) will be provided. Their genotypes may not reflect those discussed in the strain description. Please inquire for possible genotypes and see additional details below.
Standard Supply
Cryopreserved. Ready for recovery. Please refer to pricing and supply notes on the strain data sheet for further information.
Supply Notes
- Cryorecovery - Standard.
Progeny testing is not required.
The average number of mice provided from recovery of our cryopreserved strains is 10. The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. We will fulfill your order by providing at least two pair of mice, at least one animal of each pair carrying the mutation of interest. Please inquire if larger numbers of animals with specific genotype and genders are needed. Animals typically ship between 11 and 14 weeks from the date of your order. If a second cryorecovery is needed in order to provide the minimum number of animals, animals will ship within 25 weeks. IMPORTANT NOTE: The genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation, or that discussed in the strain description. Please inquire about possible genotypes which will be recovered for this specific strain. The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 (from U.S.A., Canada or Puerto Rico only) or 1-207-288-5845 (from any location).
