Strain Development
This inbred strain began as a spontaneous mutation described as light (B-lt), it was discovered in a C58 colony by Dr. E. C. MacDowell in 1950. The affected light mouse was crossed to BALB and brother x sister mated for 7 generations. The colony was then transferred to Dr. Herman Chase and reached F28 by 1957. Chase sent the mice to Dr. E. S. Russell at The Jackson Laboratory in 1957. From Russell, the colony was transferred to Dr. S. E. Bernstein and in 1971 transferred to Dr. Leroy Stevens at the F75 (Stevens LC, et al., 1974 J:25361). Dr. Eva Eicher took over the colony from Dr. Stevens. It was imported into The Jackson Laboratory Repository in 2006.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms assigned by genotype

The following phenotype information may relate to a genetic background differing from this JAX® Mice strain.

Tyrp1B-lt/Tyrp1B-lt

        Background Not Specified
  • hearing/vestibular/ear phenotype
  • abnormal ear morphology (J:16249)
    • abnormal inner ear morphology (J:16249)
      • abnormal strial intermediate cells (J:16249)

    • abnormal endocochlear potential (J:16249)
      • loss of endocochlear potential correlates with loss of pigment
      • decreased endocochlear potential (J:16249)
        • potential is reduced to 19-59mV in 30% of two age groups: 2.5 to 4 mo and 1-2 years
        • loss of potential is correlated with loss of pigment with age
  • pigmentation phenotype
  • abnormal coat color (J:16249)

    • diluted coat color (J:1086)
      • base of hairs become lighter as more pigment is lost with age, older mice are pale grey in color
      • pigment loss is due to premature melanocyte death mediated by natural toxicity of pigment production

    • pigmentation is abundant as clumps in older mice
  • skin/coat/nails phenotype
  • abnormal coat color (J:16249)

a/a Tyrp1B-lt/Tyrp1B-lt

        Background Not Specified
  • pigmentation phenotype
  • abnormal dorsoventral coat patterning (J:13094)
    • the ventral hairs are substantially less pigmented than those of the dorsum
  • abnormal hair follicle melanin granule (J:13094)
    • although in early stages of hair growth the granules are round and relatively uniform in size, in later stages they are larger, more variable in size, and some clumping is found
    • by the 9th day of a new hair growth cycle some hair bulbs are devoid of pigmentation and by 14 days very few follicles have active melanocytes
    • enlarged melanin granules in hair follicle (J:13094)
  • abnormal hair shaft melanin granules (J:13094)
    • variation in the amount of pigmentation present in one hair shaft versus the next
    • variation in the size ans shape of pigment granules, with some instances of large masses of pigment in a particular hair shaft
    • abnormal hair shaft melanin granule distribution (J:13094)
      • hair shafts have large clumps of pigmented granules predominantly restricted to the medullary regions
      • decreased pigmentation in the hair shafts with age
    • reduced hair shaft melanin granule number (J:13094)
  • skin/coat/nails phenotype

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.
