Generation DefinitionsDescription
Mice homozygous for the high stepper mutation display an abnormal gait in which they pull their rear legs up to the body as they walk. They also draw the rear legs to the belly when picked up by the tail. Electroretinogram recordings are abnormal for all homozygotes on a pure C57BL/6J background or on a (C57BL/6J x CAST/EiJ)F2 background. Histology of the eye shows rosettes and misplaced ganglion cells by approximately 2 weeks of age.Development
The high stepper mutation arose spontaneously in 2003 in the inbred C57BL/6J colony at The Jackson Laboratory. It has been maintained on the C57BL/6J background ever since, primarily maintained by the backcross-intercross breeding scheme.

Cryopreserved Mice - Ready for Recovery
Animals Provided
Price (US dollars $) Cryorecovery* $1980.00 At least two mice that carry the mutation (if it is a mutant strain) will be provided. Their genotypes may not reflect those discussed in the strain description. Please inquire for possible genotypes and see additional details below.
Standard Supply
Cryopreserved. Ready for recovery. Please refer to pricing and supply notes for further information.
Supply Notes
- Cryorecovery - Standard.
We will fulfill your order by providing at least two pair of mice, at least one animal of each pair carrying the mutation of interest. The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. Please inquire if larger numbers of animals with specific genotype and genders are needed. Animals typically ship between 13 and 16 weeks from the date of your order. If a second cryorecovery is needed in order to provide the minimum number of animals, animals will ship within 25 weeks. IMPORTANT NOTE: The genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation, or that discussed in the strain description. Please inquire about possible genotypes which will be recovered for this specific strain. The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 (from U.S.A., Canada or Puerto Rico only) or 1-207-288-5845 (from any location).
