Strain Description
Transgenic mice were created with the Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) glycoprotein(GP) or nucleoprotein (NP) under the control of the rat insulin promoter. Ins2-GP expression was determined only in the pancreas by RT-PCR (von Herrath et al 1994). Tg(Ins2-GP)34-20Olds untreated mice rarely develop insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). When challenged with LCMV they develop IDDM. The B6.C -Tg(Ins2-GP)34-20Olds mice (H2b) exhibit a rapid (10-14 days) onset of IDDM compared to C.B6-Tg(Ins2-NP)25-3Olds mice (H2d) (10-21 days) or B6.C -Tg(Ins2-NP)25-3Olds mice (H2b) (30-120 days) (Oldstone et al.,1991; von Herrath et al.,1994). Thymic expression of nucleoprotein has been shown to be responsible for this delayed onset of IDDM. Thymi from newborn B6.C -Tg(Ins2-GP)34-20Olds transplanted into nude hosts produce a primary CTL response when challenged with LCMV. CD8 T cells are required for IDDM development in both glycoprotein and nucleoprotein transgenic mice, as is interferon gamma. In interferon gamma deficient transgenics stimulated with LCMV, CTLs were present in the pancreas and around the islets of Langerhans, but did not infiltrate the islets. Additionally, nucleoprotein transgenic animals require the presence of CD4 T cells. (von Herrath, et al, 1994 and 1997)

A singledose injection of anti CD80, anti CD86 or anti CD80/anti CD86 antibodies does not prevent LCMV induced diabetes in either the GP or NP transgenic mice. LCMV challenged GP transgenic mice are partially protected from diabetes by anti CD80 antibodies and completely protected by anti CD86 or anti CD80/CD86 antibodies injected daily for 14 days. However, LCMV challenged NP transgenic mice have accelerated diabetes onset when treated with anti CD80/CD86 antibodies injected daily for 14 days. LCMV induced diabetes is prevented in NP and GP transgenic mice treated with anti TNFRSF5 when treated within a defined time window. Splenocytes from these protected mice adoptively transferred disease resistance to LCMV- challenged pre diabetic GP transgenic mice. The cells thatconfer protection express ITGAX5, NK1.1 and DX5. The spleens of anti TNFRSF5 protected mice have an increased population of ITGAX5 expressing cells. When this population of cells is further fractionated into ITGAX5+, DX5+ cells, the recipient mice acquire protection from diabetes. (Homann et al., 2002)

Strain Development
B6.C-Tg(Ins2-GP)34-20Olds/MvhJ expresses the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) glycoprotein (GP) under control of the rat insulin promoter, (Ins2, commonly designated RIP). The transgene was first inserted by Oldstone, et al (1991) into C57BL/6 (H2b) x Balb/WEHI (H2d) F2 oocytes. Line 34-20, maintained by Herrath et al., (1994, 2000) has been backcrossed to C57BL/6 (H2b) for at least 10 generations. In 2005 this strain arrived at The Jackson Laboratory and is maintained Tg/? x Tg/?.

Allele Name transgene insertion 34-20, Michael BA Oldstone, MD
Common Name(s) LCMV GP; RIP GP H2; RIP GP34-20; RIP-GP34-20; RIP-LCMV GP;
Mutation Made By Michael Oldstone,   The Scripps Research Institute
Strain of Origin(C57BL/6 x BALB/Wehi)F2
Expressed Gene GP, LCMV glycoprotein,
Promoter Ins2, insulin 2, rat
Molecular Note This transgene encodes the glycoprotein (GP) from Armstrong's clone of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) regulated by the rat insulin promoter. Upstream of the GP cDNA are 660 base pairs of regulatory elements in addition to the rat insulin promoter. Downstream of the GP c-DNA is the SV40 small T-antigen intron and late polyadenylation signal. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the transcript was expressed in the pancreas but not the thymus, spleen, liver, kidney, heart, muscle or lung. [MGI Ref ID J:81287]

Supply Details

Standard SupplyRepository-Cryopreserved. Must Be Recovered. Please refer to pricing and supply notes for further information.
Supply Notes 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.
