Strain Information
Type Congenic; Mutant Strain; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 01-MAR-06 Species laboratory mouse Generation N10+N1F10 (22-JAN-09) Donating Investigator Dan Littman, New York University Medical Center Description
Mice that are homozygous for the CX3CR1-GFP targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. RT-PCR analysis of lymphoid tissue from homozygotes detects mutant gene product (mRNA) and no wild type gene product (mRNA). Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood cells identified a subset of green fluorescent cells not observed in wild type mice. Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP), but not the endogenous gene, is expressed in monocytes, dendritic cells, NK cells, and brain microglia, mimicking endogenous gene expression. The same subset of peripheral blood cells isolated from heterozygote mice express detectable levels of EGFP. Immunohistochemical analysis of spleen and peripheral nerve tissue from homozygotes does not detect EGFP. These CX3CR1-GFP mutant mice may be useful in studies of leukocyte migration and trafficking, as well as for transplantation studies.Of note, CX3CR1-GFP mice are also available harboring with the CD45.1 (Ly5.1 or Ptprca) allele, which is atypical for the C57BL/6 congenic background (see Stock No. 008451).
Development
A targeting vector containing an Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP, Clontech) cDNA sequence, loxP-flanked neomycin resistance gene, herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene, and SV40 polyadenylation site sequence was used to disrupt the first 390 bp of exon 2. The construct was electroporated into 129P2/OlaHsd derived E14.1 embryonic stem (ES) cells which were transiently transfected with a Cre recombinase vector to remove the selection cassette. ES cells that had successfully undergone Cre-mediated recombination (removing the loxP-flanked neo cassette and leaving a single loxP site downstream of EGFP) were injected into recipient blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were backcrossed to C57BL/6 for 10 generations before being made homozygous. During the backcross, mice were likely bred to a B6.CD45.1 congenic strain (harboring the CD45.1 (Ly5.1 or Ptprca) allele rather than the CD45.2 (Ly5.2 or Ptprcb) allele normally present in C57BL/6 mice). These mice, however, were bred such that they still harbor the expected CD45.2 (Ly5.2 or Ptprcb) allele normally present in C57BL/6 mice.

| Allele Symbol | Cx3cr1tm1Litt | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | targeted mutation 1, Dan R Littman | ||
| Allele Type | Targeted (Reporter) | ||
| Common Name(s) | CX3CR1-EGFP; CX3CR1-GFP; CX3CR1-; CX3CR1EGFP; CX3CR1GFP; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Steffen Jung, Weizmann Institute of Science | ||
| Strain of Origin | 129P2/OlaHsd | ||
| ES Cell Line Name | E14.1 | ||
| ES Cell Line Strain | 129P2/OlaHsd | ||
| Site of Expression | EGFP expression mimics endogenous gene expression and is detected in monocytes, dendritic cells, NK cells, and brain microglia. | ||
| Expressed Gene | GFP, Green Fluorescent Protein, jellyfish | ||
| Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, is a versatile reporter molecule which has found use in many biological applications. In some constructs the original molecule has been modified in order to enhance its fluorescence intensity (EGFP, enhanced GFP). When utilized in a transgenic construct, tissue expressing sufficient amounts of GFP will fluoresce when exposed to a 488 nm light source. | |||
| Gene Symbol and Name | Cx3cr1, chemokine (C-X3-C) receptor 1 | ||
| Chromosome | 9 | ||
| Gene Common Name(s) | CCRL1; CMKBRL1; CMKDR1; GPR13; GPRV28; Rbs11; V28; | ||
| Molecular Note | The endogenous locus was disrupted by the insertion of sequence encoding green fluourescent protein (GFP), replacing the first 390 bp of the coding exon (exon 2). The deleted region encoded an amino-terminal portion of the protein that is crucial for interaction with endogenous ligand, Cx3cl1. A floxed neo gene included in the targeting vector for selection was excised prior to germline transmission, leaving a single loxP site downstream of the GFP sequence. RT-PCR and flow cytometry indicated an absenceof endogenous protein and the presence GFP expression in homozygous mutant mice. [MGI Ref ID J:84544] | ||

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
