GenerationN5F2+N1p (31-OCT-05)

Important Note
This strain is homozygous for the retinal degeneration mutation Pde6brd1; it may also carry the age related hearing loss mutation, Cdh23ahl, which is linked to rcw within ~20 - 30 cM on Chromosome 10.

Description
Visibly, Grm1rcw/Grm1rcw mice are identifiable by 2.5 - 3 weeks of age. Their constant wobbly gait frequently throws them off balance, but only briefly, as they show immediate and normal righting response. When walking, they often brace for balance with their fore- and hindfeet extended forward or sideways. Their heads lurch mildly and the mutants often sit on their haunches when motion falters. Their forefeet show normal grip strength when the mutant mice are pulled gently backwards over a cage cover. When picked up by the tail, they may clasp their hindfeet. However, they show sufficient hindlimb strength to prevent their falling when placed on an edge. Mutants live through adulthood, and mice of both sexes breed. Grm1rcw has been mapped between the flanking markers D10Mit49, at map position 6.3 Mb and D10Mit80, at map position 11.4 Mb.

Development
rcw arose in the 129S1/SvImJ production colony at The Jackson Laboratory in 1998. An affected female was crossed to a C3HeB/FeJ male, and the stock was then maintained by sib matings for seven generations. It was then decided to transfer rcw onto C3FeLe.B6-a/a so that females of an agouti C3H subline could serve as ovarian transplant hosts if ovarian transplantation should prove necessary to maintain the mutation on an inbred background. The resulting strain was named C3FeLe.Cg a-rcw/J. This strain is no longer available. The homozygous mutant phenotype did not diminish or show reduced viability at N5. In 2005 embryos were generated for cryopreservation using C3HeB/FeJ agouti females and congenic C3FeLe.B6-a/a homozygous mutant males and were assigned stock#5494 and named C3.Cg-rcw/J. This thawed strain will be segregating for a and A.

Supply Notes
  • Cryopreserved Embryos
    This strain is also available as cryopreserved embryos. Orders for cryopreserved embryos may be placed with our Customer Service Department. 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, please visit our Cryopreserved Embryos web page.
  • Cryorecovery - Standard.
    We will fulfill your order by providing at least two pair of mice, at least one animal of each pair carrying the mutation of interest. The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. Please inquire if larger numbers of animals with specific genotype and genders are needed. Animals typically ship between 13 and 16 weeks from the date of your order. If a second cryorecovery is needed in order to provide the minimum number of animals, animals will ship within 25 weeks. IMPORTANT NOTE: The genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation, or that discussed in the strain description. Please inquire about possible genotypes which will be recovered for this specific strain. The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.

    Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
    Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 (from U.S.A., Canada or Puerto Rico only) or 1-207-288-5845 (from any location).

Important Note
This strain is homozygous for the retinal degeneration mutation Pde6brd1; it may also carry the age related hearing loss mutation, Cdh23ahl, which is linked to rcw within ~20 - 30 cM on Chromosome 10.

Payment Terms and Conditions

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.
