Description
The genotypes of the animals provided may not reflect those discussed in the strain description or the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation. Please inquire for possible genotypes for this specific strain.
Strain Information
Type Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Generation F?+4p
Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Dr. Ellen Robey, Univ of California, Berkeley Description
Homozygous mice constitutively express CD8.1 under the control of the T cell-specific CD2 promoter. The mice are viable and fertile. CD8.1 differs from the CD8.2 allele expressed in the C57BL/6 mouse strain, allowing differentiation between the endogenous protein and the transgene product using monoclonal antibodies. This transgenic line was created to study the mechanisms of T cell selection and lineage commitment in the thymus.

The following phenotype information may relate to a genetic background differing from this JAX® Mice strain.
Tg(Cd8aCd8b)3Erob/0
involves: C57BL/6 * DBA/2
- immune system phenotype
- abnormal CD8-positive T cell differentiation
- transgenic expression of the CD8 complex leads to almost all peripheral T cells expressing CD8 either alone as CD8+ T cells or as double positive CD4+CD8+ T cells (MGI Ref ID J:93004)
- endogenous expression of CD8 genes does not occur in CD4+CD8+ T cells but does occur in single positive CD8+ T cells (MGI Ref ID J:93004)
- abnormal double-positive T cell morphology
- decreased CD4-positive T cell number
- the single positive CD4 T cell population in the thymus and in the periphery is virtually absent due to transgenic expression of CD8 (MGI Ref ID J:93004)

Genes & Alleles
Gene & Allele Information provided by MGI
| Allele Symbol | Tg(Cd8aCd8b)3Erob | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion 3, Ellen Robey | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (random, expressed) | ||
| Mutation Made By | Dr. Ellen Robey, Univ of California, Berkeley | ||
| Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F2 | ||
| Expressed Gene | Cd8a, CD8a molecule, rat | ||
| Promoter | CD2, CD2 molecule, human | ||
| Molecular Note | The murine Cd8a and Cd8b1 coding sequences were placed under the control of the T cell-specific CD2 promoter. Six copies of the transgene incorporated into the genome. The resulting heterodimer complex expressed was the "CD8.1" variant that differs from the "CD8.2" variant complex normally expressed in C57BL/6 mice. Transgenic expression was detected on almost all thymocytes and T cells as determined by flow cytometry using antibodies that can distinguish the two CD8 variants. [MGI Ref ID J:93004] | ||

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 Information
