Under control of a mouse prion protein promoter, which drives transgene expression in the neurons of the central nervous system, these transgenic mice express an N-terminally truncated human huntingtin cDNA that encodes 82 glutamines and encompasses the first 171 amino acids. They develop behavioral abnormalities, including loss of coordination, tremors, hypokinesis and abnormal gait, before dying prematurely.

Related Genotype: a/a

Description
Mice expressing this transgene appear normal at birth through 1-2 months. Mice fail to gain weight, develop tremors, hypokinesis and lack coordination. They exhibit an abnormal gait and frequent hind limb clasping. Life expectancy is 5-6 months. Studies using huntingtin antibodies indicated numerous immunoreactive nuclear inclusions in multiple neuron populations. Neuritic damage is evident.

Development
This transgenic line expresses an N-terminally truncated human huntingtin cDNA that encodes 82 glutamines and encompasses the first 171 amino acids. The altered huntingtin cDNA is under control of a mouse prion protein promoter. Expression is observed in neurons of the central nervous system.

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.
