Strain Information

Former Names B6;129-Scaptm1Gsn/J    (Changed: 04-MAY-06 ) Type Mutant Stock; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered Mutant Mice. Species laboratory mouse   Donating Investigator Jay Horton,   Univ of Texas SW Med Center at Dallas

Description
Mice that are homozygous for this targeted allele are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. They posses a loxP-flanked neomycin resistance cassette located 3 kb upstream of exon 1. A third loxP site is located in intron 1. When used in conjunction with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is appropriate for generating tissue-specific knockout mutants of Scap. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies related to cholesterol and fatty acid homeostasis.

Development
A targeting vector containing a loxP-flanked neo cassette located 3kb 5' of Scap exon 1 and a third loxP site located in intron 1, was electroporated into 129S6/SvEv-derived SM-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts. The resulting chimeric male animals were mated to C57BL/6 mice.

Supply Details

Standard Supply

Repository-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. This strain is included in the Induced Mutant Resource Colony collection.

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.
