| Hemizygous transgenic mice are viable and fertile and develop a Parkinson-like phenotype upon aging. Hind limb paralysis due to loss of motor neurons and a resting tremor are initially seen at about six months of age. No Lewy body-like pathology is noted. Cell death in the spinal cord (extensive) and brain are observed. | |||||||||

Strain Information
Former Names B6.Cg-Tg(THY1-SNCA*A53T)1Sud/J (Changed: 22-JAN-08 ) Type Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Mating System Noncarrier x Hemizygote (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Thomas Sudhof, Stanford University School of Medicine Description
Hemizygous transgenic mice are viable and fertile and develop a Parkinson-like phenotype upon aging. Hind limb paralysis due to loss of motor neurons and a resting tremor are initially seen at about six months of age. No Lewy body-like pathology is noted. Cell death in the spinal cord (extensive) and brain are observed.Development
This transgenic strain carries the human SNCA (synuclein, alpha) gene under the control of a human THY1 (thymus cell antigen 1, theta) promoter. It is not known what strain the transgenic vector was originally injected into, but this line has been backcrossed approximately 5 times to C57BL/6. This is line M53.

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
