Strain Description
Mice homozygous for the dominant a allele exhibit an taster (avoidance as low as <.001mM concentration) phenotype to the bitter compound sucrose octaacetate. This strain may be useful in studies related to the mechanisms of taste.

Strain Development
This congenic was created in the laboratory of Dr. Glayde Whitney at Florida State University in 1994 by introgressing the SWR/J "taster" allele into the C3HeB/FeJ "demitaster" background for at least 12 generations. Mice were tested for avoidance of (a allele) or indifference to (c allele) a 0.1 mM sodium octaacetate (SOA) solution. The colony was maintained by backcrossing for additional 20 generations. In 1999, the colony was transferred to the Monell Chemical Senses Center and backcrossed for another 10 generations. After 40 generations, mice were intercrossed to generate a homozygous colony. The strain was donated to The Jackson Laboratory Repository in 2006 by Dr. Alexander Bachmanov.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms assigned by genotype

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

Soaa/Soaa

        SWR
  • taste/olfaction phenotype
  • taste sensitivity (MGI Ref ID J:44684)
    • mice have a higher aversion for drinking water containing calcium hydroxide than the C3HeB strain or SWR mice heterozygote for the Soaa allele
    • abnormal bitter taste sensitivity (MGI Ref ID J:6574)
      • mice demonstrate a strong aversion to the bitter tasting compound sucrose octaacetate (SOA) when present in drinking water at 100 micromolar concentrations compared to thirty other in-bred strains that had no aversion to SOA at this concentration
      • mice avoid drinking water containing 0.1 mM of the bitter acetylated sugar sucrose octaacetate (SOA) compared to C3HeB/Fe mice that do not show any aversion to SOA at this concentration
      • strong taste aversion to SOA occurs at concentrations as low as 3 micromolar while C3HeB mice only display moderate taste aversion at 1 mM
      • mice also have strong taste aversions to drinking water containing 0.01 to 1 mM of brucine, strychnine, 6-n-propyl-2 thiouracil or 0.1mM denatonium benzoate while C3Heb mice do not display taste aversions at these concentrations
      • mice exhibit taste aversion to quinine compounds at low concentrations (0.03 mM-0.1 mM) while control C3HeB mice only exhibit taste aversions at higher concentrations (0.3 mM-1 mM)
      • aversion to water containing low concentrations of caffeine, cyclohexamide, and thiamine occurs in SWR mice while SWR mice heterozygote for the Soaa allele do not have aversion for these compounds at low concentrations

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.
