Strain Description
Mice that are homozygous for this targeted allele appear weak, fail to feed and die within a few hours of birth from unspecified causes. Embryos exhibit a slightly foreshortened head and abnormal lens development. No Maf gene transcript is detected. Posterior lens cells from homozygotes fail to elongate. These cells display inappropriately high levels of DNA synthesis and express alpha A crystallin and all of the beta crystallin genes at dramatically reduced levels. Heterozygotes are phenotypically normal. The presence of lacZ in the targeted allele makes it possible to observe Maf expression characteristics.

Strain Development
A targeting vector containing neomycin resistance, lacZ and herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase genes was used to disrupt the single Maf exon. The targeting construct was designed to remove the carboxy-terminal 351 amino acids and 3kb of 3' untranslated sequence. The lacZ gene was fused to an amino-terminal portion of the Maf gene encoding 19 amino acids. The construct was electroporated into 129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were backcrossed to C57BL/6J mice.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms assigned by genotype

The following phenotype information may relate to a genetic background differing from this JAX® Mice strain.

Maftm1Gsb/Maftm1Gsb

        involves: 129S1/Sv * 129X1/SvJ * C57BL/6J
  • lethality-prenatal/perinatal
  • neonatal lethality (MGI Ref ID J:56583)
    • mice die within hours of birth
  • vision/eye phenotype
  • abnormal cornea morphology (MGI Ref ID J:56583)
    • in older mice, corneas are thickened and exhibit increased cell proliferation and irregularity at the endothelial surface
  • abnormal lens development (MGI Ref ID J:56583)
    • by E12.5, fiber cell differentiation and elongation ceases
    • early maturation of primary and secondary lens fiber cells and the ability of these cells to remain in G0 is disrupted
    • at E15.5, the boundary between proliferating and non-proliferating cells is shifted anteriorly
    • abnormal lens vesicle development (MGI Ref ID J:56583)
      • by E13.5, the lens vesicle is hollow whereas it is filled in wild type mice
      • by E15.5, epithelial cells are confined to the anterior third rather than the anterior half of the lens vesicle
      • after E16.5, the lens vesicle is deformed
  • small lens (MGI Ref ID J:56583)
    • at E17.5, lens size is reduced by one half or less of wild type
  • craniofacial phenotype
  • shortened head (MGI Ref ID J:56583)
    • mice exhibit a fore-shortened head at birth
  • behavior/neurological phenotype
  • decreased eating behavior (MGI Ref ID J:56583)
    • mice do not eat at birth
  • weakness (MGI Ref ID J:56583)
    • at birth

Supply Details

Standard SupplyRepository-Cryopreserved. Must Be Recovered. Please refer to pricing and supply notes for further information.
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.
One to two pairs will be recovered to establish a Dedicated Supply of mice. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services: Tel: 1-800-422-6423 or 1-207-288-5845; Email: jaxservices@jax.org.
This strain is included in the Induced Mutant Resource Colony collection.
Genomic DNA is available for this strain from the Mouse DNA Resource.

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.
