| FUT1-deficient mice do not have epididymal alpha(1,2)fucosylated glycans or the fucosylated glycolipid, fucosyl GA1, in pancreatic acinar glands. Homozygotes exhibit delayed maturation of nerve fibers in the glomerular layer of the olfactory bulb. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of glycosidic molecular interactions and function, and olfactory nerve pathway development. | |||||||||||||||

Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Steven Domino, University of Michigan Description
Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any behavioral abnormalities. Homozygous mice may be identified by their agouti and chinchilla coat color. Alpha(1,2)fucosylated glycans are not detected in the epididymis of homozygotes. Fucosylated glycolipids (fucosyl GA1) are not detected in the pancreatic acinar glands of homozygotes. Homozygotes exhibit delayed maturation of nerve fibers in the glomerular layer of the olfactory bulb due to absence of cell surface carbohydrate, blood group H carbohydrate, expression in primary sensory neurons. The Donating Investigator reports that the beta-galatosidase is expressed. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of glycosidic molecular interactions and function, and olfactory nerve pathway development.This strain was transferred from the collection of the Consortium for Functional Glycomics.
Development
A targeting vector containing neomycin resistance and beta-galactosidase genes was used to disrupt the one coding exon. The construct was electroporated into 129X1/SvJ derived Pat5 OR (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl+ derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient C57BL/6J blastocysts. The resulting male chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6J female mice. Heterozygotes were crossed to obtain homozygotes. The mice were then backcrossed to C57BL/6 for 12 generations before arriving at The Jackson Laboratory. The mice were crossed once to C57BL/6J upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory.
