Description
Mice hemizygous for this SOD1-G93A (also called G93A-SOD1) transgene are viable and fertile, with transgenic expression of a G93A mutant form of human SOD1. This founder line (often referred to as G1H) is reported to have high transgene copy number. Hemizygotes exhibit a phenotype similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in humans; becoming paralyzed in one or more limbs with paralysis due to loss of motor neurons from the spinal cord. Transgenic mice have a life span of approximately 19-23 weeks. Female hemizygotes are poor breeders, and rarely produce more than one litter before the onset of disease. These SOD1-G93A (also called G93A-SOD1) transgenic mice may be useful in studying neuromuscular disorders, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease).

In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. As the SOD1-G93A transgenic mice were originally created on a mixed genetic background, it should be noted that the phenotype of the congenic mice could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results become available.

Development
The SOD1-G93A (or G93A-SOD1) transgene was designed with a mutant human SOD1 gene (harboring a single amino acid substitution of glycine to alanine at codon 93) driven by its endogenous human SOD1 promoter. This transgene was injected into fertilized B6SJLF1 mouse eggs and founder animals were obtained. Transgenic mice on a mixed B6SJL genetic background were sent to The Jackson Laboratory (as Stock No. 002726). Upon arrival, some mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6J for at least 10 generations to generate this congenic strain (Stock No. 004435). The backcross was completed in July 2002.

Expressed Gene SOD1, superoxide dismutase 1, soluble, human
Promoter SOD1, superoxide dismutase 1, soluble, human
General Note This line, G1H, was derived from the original G1 line (now designated Tg(SOD1*G93A)2Gur) reported in J:32665.

Transgenic mice on a background that involves C57BL/6 and SJL express high levels of the transgene with a 4-fold increase in SOD activity, and exhibit a phenotype similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in humans. Hemizygous transgenic mice become paralyzed in one or more limbs and have a life span of approximately 19-23 weeks. Paralysis is due to loss of motor neurons from the spinal cord.

Molecular Note This transgenic subline (designated G1H in J:76718) is derived from the G1 parental transgenic line (originally described in J:32665). This line carries a 40% expansion in transgene copy number compared to the original G1 line (described in J:32665, in MGI as Tg(SOD1*G93A)2Gur). The transgene construct is composed of the human SOD1 gene carrying a glycine to alanine transition at position 93 (G93A). The G93A mutation does not alter the activity of the protein. This line carries a high copy number. [MGI Ref ID J:32665] [MGI Ref ID J:76718]

Colony Maintenance

Breeding & HusbandryWhen maintaining the live congenic colony, hemizygous carriers (preferably males) are bred with C57BL/6J inbred mice. Female hemizygotes are poor breeders, and rarely produce more than one litter before the onset of disease. Coat color expected from breeding is black.

Standard SupplyRepository-Live. A collection of over 1000 strains maintained as live colonies. Individual colonies are sized to meet current customer demand. Delivery for orders of 10 mice or less ranges on average from one to eight weeks; mice are generally shipped between four to six weeks of age with a maximum shipping age of ~nine weeks. Colony sizes do not generally support stringent age specifications for large volumes of mice; however custom orders and larger quantities of mice are easily arranged. Estimated ship dates for all orders provided within 48 hours of order placement.

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.
