Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Mutant Stock Additional information on JAX® GEMM® Strains. Species laboratory mouse Strain Description
Mice homozygous for the {i dep} mutation can be identified at one week of age by thin, short hair. By three weeks, some mice are hairless while others develop a coat. Hair follicles are misshapen and disoriented. The coat has a matted, greasy appearance with clumps of pigment.Strain Development
The dep mutation arose from the T tf/ tf+ stock in 1966. The stock background included an unspecified laboratory stock and approximately 50% C57BL/10Gn. In 1967 dep was crossed to C57. Although the records are not clear, it is thought that after one intercross generation, dep was crossed to CBA/Ca and then maintained as a sibling mating for 4 generations (F4). The dep mutation was then outcrossed to SEC/1 and sibling mated for 8 generations (F8). In 1971, dep was crossed to B6C3F1 a/a and maintained by an outcross/intercross strategy. In 1983, dep had been backcrossed to B6C3F1 a/a for 28 generations (N28).

| General Note | Homozygotes are viable and fertile. They are identifiable at about 1 week when the first coat appears. The hair is abnormally thin and short. By 3 weeks some mice are nearly hairless; others possess a rather substantial coat. The hair has a matted greasyappearance. Many hair follicles are misshapen, and others are completely disoriented. Clumps of pigment that appear to be the remains of degenerating follicles are numerous. In addition, about 20 per cent of the hairs of the coat show an irregular arrangement of septa in the shaft or a complete interruption of septal pattern. By dermal-epidermal recombination grafts of embryonic skin, this allele has been shown to act in the epidermis (J:5722). | ||

| 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. |
