Description
The genotypes of the animals provided may not reflect those discussed in the strain description or the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation. Please inquire for possible genotypes for this specific strain.
Strain Information
Type Congenic; Mutant Stock; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Talal Chatila, Boston Children's Hospital Description
Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. No gene product (mRNA or protein) is detected by RT-PCR or Western blot analysis. Synaptic plasticity, as assayed by long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), in mutant mice is deficient. Homozygotes exhibit diminished contextual and auditory fear memory. Cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) activation by fear conditioning is absent in the amygdala and decreased in the hippocampus. Thymocyte maturation is impaired. Both CD4+ and CD8+, single positive, thymocyte levels are reduced. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies examining learning and memory or related to thymocyte development.Development
A targeting vector containing neomycin resistance and herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase genes was used to disrupt exon 3 and adjacent introns. The construct was electroporated into 129X1/SvJ-derived RW4 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts.

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
