Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Edward Leiter, The Jackson Laboratory Appearance
albino
Related Genotype: A/A Tyrc/TyrcDescription
The donating investigator reports that hemizygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile and normal in size. FACS analysis of splenic lymphocytes shows transgenic expression in 36% of CD4+ and 6% of CD8+ T cells and minimal expression (background levels) in B cells and macrophages. When compared to wild-type NOD/ShiLt mice, the diabetes incidence is lower (50%) and diabetes onset is delayed. Adoptive transfer experiments with splenocytes and bone marrow from hemizygous CD4-DsRed transgenic mice does not confer diabetes protection on NOD inbred mice, suggesting that the agent of protection is not dependent on hematopoietic cells. No homozygous transgenic mice have been identified in litters produced from hemizygote intercrosses, suggesting that homozygotes are not viable.This strain is useful for tracking resting and activated T cells in vivo and in vitro.
Development
A transgenic construct containing the Red Florescent Protein, DsRed, cDNA under the control of the murine Cd4 promoter and enhancer was injected into fertilized NOD/ShiLt mouse eggs. Founder line 4 was mated to NOD/ShiLt prior to sibling mating. In 2007, the T1DR received this transgenic strain at N1F15 and mated to Stock No. 001976-NOD/ShiLtJ once prior to sibling mating.
