Related Genotype: A/A Tyrc/TyrcStrain Description
Tg(Ins2-CD86)12B7 mice homozygous for the Prkdcscid mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Transgenic mice express the human CD86 T cell co-stimulatory protein under the control of the rat insulin promoter (Ins2). RT-PCR analysis detects human CD86 mRNA expression in the pancreas. Very low expression levels are also detected in the kidney and thymus of some but not all transgenic mice. Immunohistochemistry indicates that transgenic CD86 protein expression is restricted to the Islets of Langerhans. Transgenic, Prkdcscid homozygous mice lack functional T cells and B cells, and do not become diabetic.In the absence of the Prkdcscid mutation, NOD-Tg(Ins2-CD86), transgenic mice experience accelerated diabetes. Diabetes onset in male and female transgenic NOD-Tg(Ins2-CD86) mice starts at 8 weeks of age and 85-90% of the mice ultimately become diabetic. Disease progression, however, is not as rapid as in congenic NOD-Tg(Ins2-CD80) transgenic mice.. Both CD80 and CD86 cause accelerated diabetes on the NOD background but there appeared to be a "stronger" effect of CD80. Paradoxically, however, when cells from both diabetic transgenic strains are used in adoptive transfer, the cells from the more accelerated diabetic Tg(Ins2-CD80) stock are far less able to adoptively transfer diabetes to the host than are those from the slower, but still accelerated, Tg(Ins2-CD86) diabetic stock.
In contrast with NOD-Tg(Ins2-CD86) transgenic mice, congenic C57BL/6-Tg(Ins2-CD86) transgenic mice develop perivascular/periductal infiltrations starting around 7-8 months of age, but do not develop insulitis or diabetes.
These Prkdcscid homozygous Tg(Ins2-CD86) hemizyous mice are useful for adoptive transfer experiments and as a source of insulitis free pancreatic islets.
Strain Development
A transgenic construct containing the human CD86 gene driven by the rat insulin promoter (RIP) was injected into fertilized (C57BL/6XCBA/Ca)F2 embryos. Founder animals were initially bred to C57BL/6. Resulting progeny of founder 12B70 were backcrossed to NOD for 14 generations prior to mating to NOD.CB17-Prkdcscid mice. In 2007, The Jackson Laboratory received this mice homozygous for the Prkdcscid mutation and Tg/? at generation N14F?. The Jackson Laboratory backcrossed the mice received with NOD.CB17-Prkdcscid/J (Stock No. 001303) prior to sibling mating.

| General Note |
The Prkdcscid mutation arose in the C.B-17 inbred strain (BALB/c.C57BL/Ka-Igh-1b) (J:9341). Most homozygotes have no detectable IgM, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, or IgA, but a few have low levels of one to three of these immunoglobulin isotypes. The size of the lymphoid organs is only one-tenth or less that of normal. Thymus, lymph nodes, and splenic follicles are virtually devoid of lymphocytes (J:30980). Homozygotes are deficient in both B and T cell function. Their spleen cells do not respond to either B or T cell mitogens and they are unable to reject skin grafts. They lack detectable B cells and pre-B cells. In spite of the small thymus and lack of functional T cells, the Thy1 marker is present on a majority of cells recovered from the thymus, and T cell lymphomas occur in 10 per cent or more of affected mice. Prkdcscid specifically impairs differentiation of stem cells into mature lymphocytes. Myeloid cell differentiation is not affected. The basic defect in these mice appears to be in the lymphoid stem cells and not in the cellular environment, since functional T and B cells are found in mice reconstituted with normal bone marrow (J:30980, J:7343). However, full reconstitution of the immune deficiency occurs only after irradiation of the recipients, indicating that Prkdcscid/Prkdcscid mice may have normal numbers of a radiation-sensitive stem cell that has defective proliferative capacity (J:8299). The rearrangements of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes that normally occur in B and T lymphocytes are not found in homozygous Prkdcscid mice. However, in Abelson leukemia virus-transformed B cells of these mice and in their occasional T cell lymphomas, rearrangements, most of which are abnormal, are found. This suggests that scid may act through an effect on the recombinase system catalyzing the assembly of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes, and that lymphocytes with these defects are not able to develop further (J:8420). Although most Prkdcscid homozygotes fail to produce immunoglobulin and functional T-cell receptor, some produce these products at low levels, with an occasional mouse with nearly normal levels of serum immunoglobulin, the criterion usually used tomeasure the effects of Prkdcscid. This phenomenon is referred to as "leakiness" of the VDJ recombination defect (J:4610).Homozygous Prkdcscidmice are fertile and, under specific pathogen-free conditions, may survive a year or more(J:6958). The Prkdcscid mouse has been widely used in studies of the immune system, in particular of VDJ recombination in T and B lymphocytes. Its lack of immunocompetence has made it useful in transplantation studies, particularly transplantation and development of metastasis in human tumors. The interaction of infection, immunity, and disease processes have been studied with these mice. Poole (J:31292) offers a brief review of the nature and usefulness of the Prkdcscid mouse, with key references to the very extensive literature. Mutant mRNA does not appear to differ from wild type although protein expression is reduced more than 10-fold. Mutant protein is defective for nuclear association but exhibits normal DNA-binding ability. NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid B2mtm1Unc mice lack mature lymphocytes and serum Ig, are MHC class I deficient, B and T cell deficient, C-5 deficient (Hc0), and have low NK cells. These mice display accumulation of iron in the liver and rapid clearance of human IgG1. | ||
