Former Names B6(129P2)-Mpzttrr/GrsrJ (Changed: 02-JUL-09 ) Type Congenic; Spontaneous Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Species laboratory mouse Generation N12F7+F18pN1
Generation DefinitionsDescription
Mice homozygous for the totterer mutation exhibit mild tremors at approximately 2 weeks of age with worsening muscle weakness such that by 6 to 8 weeks of age they display a shaking, limb grasping, hunched, sprawled, tottering walk and develop late-onset clinical paralysis. Premature death results. Homozygotes are poor breeders, reproducing at most once or twice, and females are poor mothers.Development
The totterer mutation arose spontaneously in the strain B6.129P2-Nos3tm1Unc/J at The Jackson Laboratory in 2003 when that parental strain was at generation N12F7. This mutant subline has been maintained by sibling inbreeding, and the targeted mutation was bred out.

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).
