This strain is homozygous for the retinal degeneration allele Pde6brd1.Strain Description
Mice carrying the (MMTVTGFA)254Rjc transgene are viable and fertile, but lactate insufficiently to support the litter. Virgin transgenic mice show no mammary gland abnormalities prepubertally, but adult virgin mice have considerable alveolar gland hyperplasia. Pregnant transgenic mice show marked proliferation of the stromal cells, and alveolar secretion is markedly increased compared to nontransgenic mice. After multiple pregnancies, isolated adenocarcinomas develop. There is no apparent phenotypic effect in males. In females transgene expression was localized to the small ducts and alveoli in both virgin and pregnant mice as evidenced by in situ hybridization and by immunohistochemistry. Immunostaining also revealed some stromal staining in the hyperplastic areas. Egfr mRNA expression was also increased in mammary tissues expressing high levels of the transgene. Crosses between TGFA transgenic mice and TGFB1 transgenic mice demonstrate that these growth factors oppose each other's action on mammary gland development. The B6D2-TgN(MMTVTGFA)254Rjc line is notable for sebaceous gland hyperplasia, which occurs in both male and female mice. The hyperplasia was evidenced as multiple raised, white plaques and nodules on the abdominal skin. No dysplasia or sebaceous cell carcinoma was observed. High expression of TGFa mRNA and TGFa protein was detected in the areas of sebaceous hyperplasia.

| 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
