Description
In humans, a non-functional C2ta (or Ciita) gene causes bare lymphocyte syndrome (BLS), which is characterized by the lack of HLA class II gene expression and a reduced number of mature CD4+ T cells in the periphery.

On the C57BL/6 congenic background (see Stock No. 003239) disruption of C2ta results in a lack of MHC Class II expression by splenic B cells, dendridic cells, and both resting and interferon gamma stimulated macrophages. However, thymic epithelium retains MHC class II expression. Homozygotes also exhibit a significant decrease in the levels of invariant chain and H-2M gene transcripts. Non-conventional MHC Class II molecules such as H-2O alpha and H-2O beta, are not affected by the disruption of C2ta. Despite the continued expression of MHC Class II molecules on cells of the thymic epithilium, few CD4 positive cells exist in the periphery of homozygotes. (Chang et al 1996)

Because of the role of CD4+ T cells in the onset of diabetes, the mutation was backcrossed onto the NOD/ShiLtJ background to characterize its impact on diabetes development. The resulting congenic mice (Stock No. 004448) homozygous for the mutation are completely protected from diabetes after 35 weeks of age. However, they do exhibit perivascular infiltration or periinsulitis at 15 weeks of age.. Like their C57BL/6 counterparts, NOD homozygotes exhibit a ten-fold decrease in CD4+ T cells in the periphery, while the number of CD8+ T cells in the spleen remains normal. Homozygous mice do not show defects in B cell function, as measured by immunoglobulin production after stimulation of B cells with Il4 in vitro. (Mora et al. 1999)

Development
The C2ta (or Ciita) gene was isolated from a 129S2/SvPas genomic library and disrupted by replacement of exons critical for gene function with a neomycin resistance cassette. The vector containing disrupted C2ta was transfected into D3 ES cells (129S2/SvPas derived). Positive clones were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts, and resulting chimeric mice were intercrossed to produce homozygotes. These homozygous individuals were backcrossed to C57BL/6 for at least 2 generations before being backcrossed to NOD/LtJ for 11 generations using PCR-assisted selection for NOD diabetes susceptibility loci. (Chang et al 1996, Mora et al 1999)

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.

"RECIPIENT" means each recipient of MICE, PRODUCTS, or services provided by JACKSON including each institution, its employees and other researchers under its control. MICE or PRODUCTS shall not be: (i) used for any purpose other than the internal research, (ii) sold or otherwise provided to any third party for any use, or (iii) provided to any agent or other third party to provide breeding or other services. Acceptance of MICE or PRODUCTS from JACKSON shall be deemed as agreement by RECIPIENT to these conditions, and departure from these conditions requires JACKSON's prior written authorization.

In case of dissatisfaction for a valid reason and claimed in writing by a purchaser within ninety (90) days of receipt of mice, products or services, JACKSON will, at its option, provide credit or replacement for the mice or product received or the services provided.

No Liability

In no event shall JACKSON, its trustees, directors, officers, employees, and affiliates be liable for any causes of action or damages, including any direct, indirect, special, or consequential damages, arising out of the provision of MICE, PRODUCTS or services, including economic damage or injury to property and lost profits, and including any damage arising from acts or negligence on the part of JACKSON, its agents or employees. Unless prohibited by law, in purchasing or receiving MICE, PRODUCTS or services from JACKSON, purchaser or recipient, or any party claiming by or through them, expressly releases and discharges JACKSON from all such causes of action or damages, and further agrees to defend and indemnify JACKSON from any costs or damages arising out of any third party claims.

MICE and PRODUCTS are to be used in a safe manner and in accordance with all applicable governmental rules and regulations.

The foregoing represents the General Terms and Conditions applicable to JACKSON’s MICE, PRODUCTS or services. In addition, special terms and conditions of sale of certain MICE, PRODUCTS or services may be set forth separately in JACKSON web pages, catalogs, price lists, contracts, and/or other documents, and these special terms and conditions shall also govern the sale of these MICE, PRODUCTS and services by JACKSON, and by its licensees and distributors.

Acceptance of delivery of MICE, PRODUCTS or services shall be deemed agreement to these terms and conditions. No purchase order or other document transmitted by purchaser or recipient that may modify the terms and conditions hereof, shall be in any way binding on JACKSON, and instead the terms and conditions set forth herein, including any special terms and conditions set forth separately, shall govern the sale of MICE, PRODUCTS or services by JACKSON.
