Strain Information
Former Names B6SJL-Tg(ABCG5/ABCG8)14-2Hobb (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Mutant Stock; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Mating System +/+ sibling x Hemizygote (Female x Male) 25-JUN-08 Species laboratory mouse Generation ?+N1p (12-JUN-05)
Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Helen H. Hobbs, UT Southwestern Medical Center Description
These transgenic mice over-express the human ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes under the direction of their endogenous regulatory sequences. Copy number of the transgene was estimated using Southern blot analysis to compare transgenic mouse genomic DNA to human genomic DNA. These transgenic mice have approximately ten copies of the transgene. Northern blot analysis revealed the human transgene is expressed in the liver and small intestine. RT-PCR showed trace levels of transgene transcript in ovary tissue. Absorption of dietary cholesterol in transgenic mice is reduced by 50%. Mean fasting plasma cholesterol levels are significantly lower in female transgenic mice. Excretion of neutral sterols in feces is elevated to three times higher above normal in male transgenic mice and six times higher in female transgenic mice. Bile from transgenic animals is opaque as compared to the clear bile of wildtype animals. Cholesterol in the bile is elevated to levels five times higher than normal in male transgenic mice and seven times higher in female transgenic mice. The phospholipid level in the bile of male transgenic mice is slightly increased. When fed a high-cholesterol diet, transgenic mice did not exhibit any significant change in hepatic cholesterol levels. Genes encoding proteins involved in cholesterol synthesis are up regulated. Mice homozygous for the transgenic insert are viable and fertile. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of cholesterol trafficking and cholesterol gallstone disease.Development
A transgenic construct containing a 90kb of sequence including the entire coding regions of the human ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes, approximately 30Kb of sequence flanking the 3' end of ABCG5, 6Kb of sequence flanking the 3" end of ABCG8 and sequence encoding exons 6 to 13 of putative gene CGI-60 was injected into fertilized C57BL/6J X SJL F2 (Stock # 100012) mouse eggs. Founder animals were bred to C57BL/6J X SJL F1 mice.

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.Ordering Information
