Strain Information
Type Congenic; Mutant Strain; Targeted Mutation; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered Mutant Mice. Mating System See Colony Maintenance Species laboratory mouse Generation N6+F10 (01-DEC-08) Donating Investigator Arthur Burghes, The Ohio State University Description
This triple mutant mouse harbors two transgenic alleles and a single targeted mutant. The Tg(SMN2*delta7)4299Ahmb allele consists of a SMA cDNA lacking exon 7 whereas the Tg(SMN2)89Ahmb allele consists of the entire human SMN2 gene. Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutant Smn allele and homozygous for the two transgenic alleles exhibit symptoms and neuropathology similar to patients afflicted with proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). At birth, triple mutants are noticeably smaller than normal littermates. By day 5, signs of muscle weakness are apparent and become progressively more pronounced over the following week as the mice display an abnormal gait, shakiness in the hind limbs and a tendency to fall over. Mean survival is approximately 13 days. Immunocytochemical analysis indicates that dystrophin expression is normal, however fibers isolated from the gastrocnemius muscle of a 14 day old triple mutant clearly show evidence of atrophy.Importation of this model was supported by the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Foundation. Creation and development was supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft to M.S., Families of SMA, the Preston fund, the Madison fund, the Mathew fund and the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America.
Development
The targeted mutant allele was created in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Sendtner at the University of Wurzburg, Germany. Exon 2 of the endogenous mouse Smn gene was disrupted by employing a targeting vector encoding a neomycin cassette and a lacZ gene fused to the first 40 nucleotides of the disrupted exon to permit expression of the lacZ gene in tissues where Smn is normally expressed. The construct was electroporated into 129P2/OlaHsd-derived E14Tg2a-IV embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts and chimeric animals obtained. Chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6 for an unspecified number of generations.
The transgenic alleles were created in the laboratory of Dr. Arthur Burghes at Ohio State University. A 35.5 kb BamHI genomic fragment encoding the human SMN2 promoter and gene (derived from genomic clone PAC215P15) was injected into fertilized FVB/N mouse oocytes and founder animal 89 was obtained. Similarly, a human SMN2 cDNA (SMNdelta7) lacking exon 7 under the control of the human SMN2 promoter was microinjected into fertilized FVB/N oocytes and founder animal 4299 was obtained. Founder animal 89 was mated to mice heterozygous for the targeted mutation of the endogenous mouse Smn gene. These double mutants were in turn mated with mice bearing the SMNdelta7 transgenic allele. The triple mutant was then backcrossed to FVB/N for at least 6 generations.

Colony Maintenance
Breeding & Husbandry The Smn1 (survival motor neuron 1) gene on Chr 13 and the two randomly inserted transgenes are not linked and will segregate independently. Breeding pairs offered by The Jackson Laboratory are homozygous for the two transgenes and heterozygous for the targeted Smn mutation. These breeding pairs are phenotypically normal and do not exhibit symptoms of neuropathology. Offspring resulting from the mating of breeder pairs can posses the following genotypes: 1. Homozygous for both transgenes and homozygous for the targeted mutation (25%)
2. Homozygous for both transgenes and heterozygous for the targeted mutation (50%)
3. Homozygous for both transgenes and wildtype at the Smn1 locus (25%)Mice that are homozygous for both transgenes and homozygous for the targeted mutation will display the SMA-like phenotype. Mice homozygous for both transgenes and heterozygous for the targeted mutation will not display the SMA-like phenotype but can be mated with each other to generate additional affected mice. Mice homozygous for both transgenes and wildtype at the Smn1 locus will also not exhibit an SMA-like phenotype but can be employed as control mice depending on the nature of the experiment.

Supply Details
| Standard Supply | 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 ~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 48 hours of 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.Ordering and Purchasing Information
