Strain Description
Tg(IL3)1Ygy, Tg(CSF2)2Ygy, and Tg(KITLG)3Ygy encode porcine interleukin 3 (IL3), Porcine granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (CSF2, commonly designated GM-CSF) and soluble Porcine stem cell factor (KITLG, commonly designated sSCF) respectively. All three are individually driven by the human cytomegalovirus promoter. These three transgenes were co-injected and they co-segregate. RT-PCR detects transgenic expression of porcine IL-3, CSF2 and KITLG in bone marrow and spleen in NOD.Cg Prkdc scid-Tg(IL3)1Ygy Tg(CSF2)2Ygy Tg(KITLG)3Ygy mice. Porcine IL3, CSF2, and KITLG are present in the serum of these mice in levels that can be detected by ELISA. NOD.Cg Prkdc scid-Tg(IL3)1Ygy Tg(CSF2)2Ygy Tg(KITLG)3Ygy/YgyJ not only provide a system in which long-term porcine tissue and stem cell engraftment can be achieved (Abe et al, 2002) but also is a useful tool for evaluating donor-specific tolerance induction by mixed chimerism across xenogeneic barriers (Chen et al, 2000). White blood cells of NOD.Cg Prkdcscid-Tg(IL3)1Ygy Tg(CSF2)2Ygy Tg(KITLG)3Ygy mice are CD4-, CD8-, CD3-, IgM-, CD19- and Mac-1+ by flow cytometric (FMC) analysis. White blood cells of Tg(IL3)1Ygy Tg(CSF2)2Ygy Tg(KITLG)3Ygy mice sub-lethally irradiated, i.v. injected with miniature swine bone marrow cells and i.p. injected with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are swine myeloid CD-2+, class II+ and CD16+ 20 weeks post bone marrow transplant by FMC. Non-transgenic littermates had low levels of chimerism detected at 3 weeks and non-existent at 7 weeks post bone marrow transplant (BMT). At 20 weeks post BMT these transgenic mice revealed high levels of chimerism in the spleen and bone marrow cells, versus no chimerism in any tissue of non-transgenic littermates. Treated transgenic mice showed peak levels of porcine T cell chimerism at 7 weeks post transplantation. Neither B nor T cells were detectable at 20 weeks post transplantation (Chen et al, 2000).

General Note The Prkdcscid mutation arose in the C.B-17 inbred strain (BALB/c.C57BL/Ka-Igh-1b) (J:9341). Most homozygotes have no detectable IgM, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, or IgA, but a few have low levels of one to three of these immunoglobulin isotypes. The size of the lymphoid organs is only one-tenth or less that of normal. Thymus, lymph nodes, and splenic follicles are virtually devoid of lymphocytes (J:30980).

Homozygotes are deficient in both B and T cell function. Their spleen cells do not respond to either B or T cell mitogens and they are unable to reject skin grafts. They lack detectable B cells and pre-B cells. In spite of the small thymus and lack of functional T cells, the Thy1 marker is present on a majority of cells recovered from the thymus, and T cell lymphomas occur in 10 per cent or more of affected mice. Prkdcscid specifically impairs differentiation of stem cells into mature lymphocytes. Myeloid cell differentiation is not affected. The basic defect in these mice appears to be in the lymphoid stem cells and not in the cellular environment, since functional T and B cells are found in mice reconstituted with normal bone marrow (J:30980, J:7343). However, full reconstitution of the immune deficiency occurs only after irradiation of the recipients, indicating that Prkdcscid/Prkdcscid mice may have normal numbers of a radiation-sensitive stem cell that has defective proliferative capacity (J:8299).

The rearrangements of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes that normally occur in B and T lymphocytes are not found in homozygous Prkdcscid mice. However, in Abelson leukemia virus-transformed B cells of these mice and in their occasional T cell lymphomas, rearrangements, most of which are abnormal, are found. This suggests that scid may act through an effect on the recombinase system catalyzing the assembly of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes, and that lymphocytes with these defects are not able to develop further (J:8420).

Although most Prkdcscid homozygotes fail to produce immunoglobulin and functional T-cell receptor, some produce these products at low levels, with an occasional mouse with nearly normal levels of serum immunoglobulin, the criterion usually used tomeasure the effects of Prkdcscid. This phenomenon is referred to as "leakiness" of the VDJ recombination defect (J:4610).Homozygous Prkdcscidmice are fertile and, under specific pathogen-free conditions, may survive a year or more(J:6958).

The Prkdcscid mouse has been widely used in studies of the immune system, in particular of VDJ recombination in T and B lymphocytes. Its lack of immunocompetence has made it useful in transplantation studies, particularly transplantation and development of metastasis in human tumors. The interaction of infection, immunity, and disease processes have been studied with these mice. Poole (J:31292) offers a brief review of the nature and usefulness of the Prkdcscid mouse, with key references to the very extensive literature.

Mutant mRNA does not appear to differ from wild type although protein expression is reduced more than 10-fold. Mutant protein is defective for nuclear association but exhibits normal DNA-binding ability.

NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid B2mtm1Unc mice lack mature lymphocytes and serum Ig, are MHC class I deficient, B and T cell deficient, C-5 deficient (Hc0), and have low NK cells. These mice display accumulation of iron in the liver and rapid clearance of human IgG1.

Supply Notes Cryopreserved Embryos
This strain is also available as cryopreserved embryos from our Repository. Orders for cryopreserved embryos are supplied subject to a signed agreement that must be returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Experienced technicians at The Jackson Laboratory have recovered frozen embryos of this strain successfully. We will provide you enough embryos to perform two embryo transfers. The Jackson Laboratory does not guarantee successful recovery at your facility. For complete information on purchasing embryos from our repository, please visit our Cryopreserved Embryos web page.
Cryorecovery - Standard.
The recovery process begins when a signed agreement form is returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Although results vary by strain, at least two males and two females (two pairs) will be provided, typically within 15 weeks of our receipt of the signed agreement form. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful or only one pair is recovered, a second recovery will be done, extending the delivery time to approximately 25 weeks. At least one member of each pair will be of known genotype and will carry the mutation if it is a mutant strain. Please note that pairs may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation of the strain. Mating schemes are sometimes modified for successful cryopreservation. Price represents a repository maintenance fee, which includes the cost of recovery of the strain from the cryopreservation resource and the periodic replacement of the frozen embryos used for recovery.

Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
One to two pairs will be recovered to establish a Dedicated Supply of mice. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services: Tel: 1-800-422-6423 or 1-207-288-5845; Email: jaxservices@jax.org.

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.
