Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Mating System Homozygote x Heterozygote (Female x Male) 04-MAR-13 Mating System Heterozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 04-MAR-13 Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Michael L. Freeman, Vanderbilt University Description
In this Nrf2 knockout strain, a β-galactosidase (lacZ) reporter followed by a neomycin resistance (neo) cassette replaces exon 5 and part of exon 4 encoding the nuclear factor, erythroid derived 2, like 2 (Nfe2l2) gene, abolishing gene function. Homozygotes are viable, fertile, and normal in size. NRF2, a member of the "cap 'n' collar" (CNC) subfamily of the basic region-leucine zipper transcription factors, is a regulator of endogenous antioxidant protection, microglial function, and chronic neuroinflammation. Inactivation of the CNC, DNA binding, and leucine zipper domains in Nrf2-/- mice results in age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-like retinal pathology, spontaneous choroidal neovascularization (CNV), increased sensitivity to toxins, impaired adipogenesis, abnormal mitochondria, and an increase in proinflammatory gene expression in microglia and astrocytes. The donating investigator reports that lacZ failed to generate any detectable b-galactosidase activity.Development
A targeting vector was designed to replace exon 5 and part of exon 4 encoding the nuclear factor, erythroid derived 2, like 2 (Nfe2l2) gene with a β-galactosidase (lacZ) reporter followed by a neomycin resistance (neo) cassette and a polyadenylation sequence. The construct was electroporated into 129X1/SvJ-derived JM-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts and the resulting chimeric mice were bred to C57BL/6 mice to generate a colony of Nrf2-/- mice. The donating investigator reported that these mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6J (see SNP note below) for at least 10 generations . Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, mice were bred to C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) for at least one generation.A 32 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 27 markers covering all 19 chromosomes and the X chromosome, as well as 5 markers that distinguish between the C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N substrains, was performed on the rederived living colony at The Jackson Laboratory Repository. While 1 of the 27 markers throughout the genome was segregating for 129, suggested a C57BL/6 genetic background, 4 of 5 markers that determine C57BL/6J from C57BL/6N were found to be segregating. These data suggest the mice sent to The Jackson Laboratory Repository were on a mixed C57BL/6J ; C57BL/6N genetic background.

Colony Maintenance
Breeding & Husbandry When maintaining a live colony, homozygous mice may be bred together. Our experience has been that homozygous breeders produced small litters and we recommend instead that either the male or female is a heterozygote. Mating System Homozygote x Heterozygote (Female x Male) 04-MAR-13 Heterozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 04-MAR-13 Diet Information LabDiet® 5K52/5K67

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 Information
