Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote         (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Generation N?+1F9 (05-JAN-08)   Donating Investigator Hong Wu,   UCLA

Description
These mice possess loxP sites on either side of exon 5 of the targeted gene. Mice that are homozygous for this allele are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. When used in conjunction with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is useful in generating tissue-specific mutants of the floxed allele.

Development
A loxP site flanked targeting vector containing hygromycin resistance and thymidine kinase genes was utilized in the construction of this mutant. This selection cassette was inserted downstream of exon 5 of the targeted gene, and another loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 5. This construct was electroporated into 129S4/SvJae derived LW-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells, which were transiently transfected with a Cre-recombinase vector to remove the selection cassette. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into BALB/c blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to BALB/cAnNTac mice before being made homozygous.

Molecular Note		A loxP flanked hygromycin resistance cassette was inserted 5' to exon 5, and a single loxP site was inserted 3' to exon 5, which encodes the phosphatase domain. The hygromycin cassette was removed in ES cells by transient Cre recombinase expression prior to the production of chimeric mice, leaving a single loxP site in place of the cassette. These insertions do not appear to have any effect on the normal function of the gene. [MGI Ref ID J:75117]

Repository-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 approximately 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 two business days following 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.
