GenerationN6+1F0 (08-JAN-08)
 
Donating Investigator Jamey Marth,   University of California at San Diego

Description
Mice homozygous for this floxed targeted mutation are viable and fertile and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. When bred to cre transgenic strains, the loxP-flanked exon is deleted by cre expression to produce a null allele.

Development
A targeting vector was used to place a floxed neomycin-thymidine kinase expression cassette in intron 6 of the gene and an additional loxP site in intron 7. The construct was electroporated into (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl+-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were transfected with cre expression plasmid to excise the neo fragment and leave a floxed exon 7. Gancyclovir-resistant ES cells were injected into blastocysts. Chimeric animals were crossed with C57BL/6 at least six times by the donating laboratory.

Supply Details

Standard SupplyRepository-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.
