Strain Information
Type Congenic; Mutant Strain; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered Mutant Mice. Mating System Heterozygote x +/+ sibling (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Generation N12+F1 (17-JUL-08) Donating Investigator X. William Yang, University of California Los Angeles Description
Mice heterozygous for the RosaHD mutant allele are viable and fertile. These mice have the neuropathogenic polyQ-mutant variant of the human Huntingtin protein (mhtt-exon1; 103Q) inserted into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. Expression of mhtt-exon1 is blocked by an upstream loxP-flanked transcriptional STOP sequence. When bred to mice with a Cre recombinase gene under the control of a promoter of interest, the STOP sequence is deleted in the tissue of interest, and mhtt-exon1 expression is observed. As these RosaHD mutant mice allow cre-conditional expression of the neuropathogenic mhtt-exon1 protein, they may be useful in studying Huntington's disease (HD) or other polyQ disorders. Of note, sequencing of the polyQ region (using mice from the 11th backcross) indicate the actual number of repeats to be 98.For example, when bred to strains expressing cre in brain tissues (such as Nestin-Cre (see Stock No. 003771) or Emx1-Cre (see Stock No. 005628), bi-transgenic offspring show pathological cell-cell interactions critically contribute to cortical pathogenesis of HD.
Development
A targeting vector was designed with a loxP-flanked transcriptional STOP sequence immediately upstream of a polyQ-mutant form of the human Huntingtin protein exon 1 (mhtt-exon1) sequence (containing 103 mixed CAA-CAG repeats, each encoding glutamine), all followed by a polyadenylation sequence. This targeting construct was incorporated into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus via electroporation into (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were microinjected into C57BL/6J blastocysts. The resulting "RosaHD" mutant mice were subsequently backcrossed to C57BL/6J mice for at least 11 generations prior to arrival at The Jackson Laboratory. Of note, sequencing of the polyQ region (using mice from the 11th backcross) indicate the actual number of repeats to be 98.

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.Ordering and Purchasing Information
