Type Congenic; Mutant Strain; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered Mutant Mice. Species laboratory mouse Background Strain NOD Donor Strain 129P2 H2 Haplotype g7 Generation N12F?+2p Donating Investigator Christophe Benoist, Joslin Diabetes Center Appearance
albino, pink eyed
Related Genotype: A/A Tyrc/TyrcDescription
NOD mice homozygous for the Tcratm1Mjo targeted mutation lack alpha beta T cells, and therefore, are completely protected from diabetes development. Because of the complete elimination of alpha beta T cells, these mice are useful in adoptive transfer experiments (as in Hoglund et al. 1999).Development
The Tcratm1Mjo targeted mutation was generated in GK129 ES cells (derived from substrain129P2/OlaHsd) via homologous recombination which inserted the neomycin resistance gene under the control of a eukaryotic promoter into the first constant region of the Tcra gene. ES cells carrying the disrupted gene were injected into BALB/c blastocysts, chimeric founders were bred with BALB/c females, and their heterozygous offspring were sibling mated to homozygosity. The Tcratm1Mjo allele on the C;129 mixed background was then transfered to the NOD background and in July 2002 the generation of this strain was N12. (Philpott et al. 1992.)
