Former Names C57BL/6J-Chr YA/NaJ    (Changed: 19-SEP-06 ) C57BL/6J-YA/NaJ    (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Consomic; Additional information on Consomic Mice. Species laboratory mouse Background Strain C57BL/6J Donor Strain A/J H2 Haplotype b Generation N20+9pN1

Appearance
black
Related Genotype: a/a

Description
A chromosome substitution or consomic strain is an inbred strain with one of its chromosomes replaced by the homologous chromosome of another inbred strain. The C57BL/6J and A/J strains in this set were chosen because they differ in their susceptibility to diseases such as arthritis, asthma, atherosclerosis, cancer, several infectious diseases, inflammatory responses, and physiological, behavioral and sensory phenotypes. Chromosome substitution strain nomenclature is designated as Host Strain - Chromosome #<Donor Strain>/Laboratory code. For example, C57BL/6J-Chr1^A/NaJ carries chromosome 1 for strain A/J (A) on a C57BL/6J background, was constructed in the laboratory of Joseph Nadeau (Na) and is maintained at The Jackson Laboratory (J). Chromosome substitution strains or consomic strains can accelerate quantitative trait loci identification and mapping.

Development
Dr. Joseph Nadeau from Case Western Reserve University developed the C57BL/6J-Chr #^A/NaJ strain set by replacing individual chromosomes from the A/J donor strain into the C57BL/6J host strain using a marker-assisted series of backcrosses (Nadeau et al., 2000). Pseudo-autosomal portions of the Y chromosome were not screened when creating this consomic. The set was donated to The Jackson Laboratory in 2004.

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 Special Mutant Stock Resource 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.
