Description
These mice contain loxP flanked transcription blocker (loxTB) sequence between exons 16 and 17 of the leptin receptor (Lepr) gene, abolishing transcription of the exons downstream of the loxTB. Leptin is an adipose-derived hormone that acts to regulate food intake, energy expenditure, and body weight. LeprloxTB mice, lacking the long (B) isoform of the leptin receptor, are obese, hyperglycemic, and hyperinsulinemic, and have reduced energy expenditure. Mice that are heterozygous for the targeted mutation are viable and fertile, while homozygous mice are infertile. When these mutant mice are bred to mice that express Cre recombinase, the resulting offspring will have the loxTB removed and Lepr expression will be restored in cre expressing cells.

For example, when bred to STOCK Tg(Pomc1-cre)16Lowl/J mice (Stock No. 005965) expressing Cre-recombinase in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, the resulting offspring have normal glucose and glucagon levels. They have moderately restored energy expenditure and body weight, with no reduction on food intake.

Development
A targeting vector was used to insert a loxP flanked transcription blocker (loxTB), containing multiple polyadenylation signals and a neomycin resistance cassette (neo), between exons 16 and 17 of the leptin receptor (Lepr) gene. The construct was electroporated into 129X1-derived embryonic stem (ES) cells and correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6Jrecipient blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6J mice and were subsequently crossed to FVB. These LeprloxTB mice were maintained on a mixed background. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, the mice were crossed to C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) at least once to establish the colony.

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.
