Strain Details
Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Congenic Additional information on JAX® GEMM® Strains. Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Mutant Strain Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Targeted Mutation Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Dan Littman, New York University Medical Center Generation N13+N1F7 (03-DEC-07) Strain Description
Mice homozygous for this EGFP "knock-in" are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any behavioral abnormalities when maintained under barrier conditions. Lymph nodes and spleen show no endogenous gene expression. Lymphocytes from heterozygotes, but not homozygotes, show endogenous ligand binding. EGFP expression is restricted to spleen and lymph nodes, specifically activated/memory T cells, with a slightly higher intensity in homozygotes. Homozygous null mice show decreased EGFP+ CD1d-reactive NKT patrolling efficiency and decreased severity of induced acute hepatitis, while heterozygotes and wildtype mice show no differences. This mutant may be useful in studies of hepatitis, HIV, SIV, fluorescent T cell tracking, and various immune responses.Strain Development
A targeting vector containing an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP, Clonetech)/SV40 poly(A)n cassette with a downstream loxP-flanked neomycin resistance gene and herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase was used to replace the endogenous coding sequence. The construct was electroporated into the 129P2/OlaHsd-derived E14 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were transiently transfected with a Cre recombinase-expressing vector before being injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. The resulting chimeric mice were bred to C57BL/6 mice. Heterozygotes were backcrossed to C57BL/6 mice for 13 generations before being made homozygous.

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
