Overview

Also Known As: Black 10, Black 10 J, B10, C57BL10

The C57BL/10J substrain is similar to the C57BL/6J substrain, but allelic variants have been described at the H9, Igh2 and Lv loci. C57BL/10J mice are a valuable immunological research tool. They have a high lymphocyte phytohaemagglutinin response, a good immune response to ovalbumin, a poor response to DNP-keyhole limpet haemocyanin and are resistant to induction of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (IgG1- and IgE- mediated). They are susceptible to immunosuppression of contact hypersensitivity by ultraviolet light, highly susceptible to TNBS-induced colitis and moderately susceptible to experimental allergic encephalomyelitis

Detailed Description

C57BL/10J is a substrain of C57BL, and shares a common origin with C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664), which is one of the most widely used inbred strains. Coat color is black (non-agouti), a/a. The C57BL/10J substrain is similar to the C57BL/6J substrain, but allelic variants have been described at the H9, Igh2 and Lv loci. C57BL/10J mice have a long life-span (826 +/-29 days in males, 693 +/- 31 days in females). Overall tumor incidence is 33% in males and 31% in females, most of which is due to lymphoma. C57BL/10J mice are prone to dermatitis, which is a common problem in the C57BL strain. C57BL/10J mice are a valuable immunological research tool. They have a high lymphocyte phytohaemagglutinin response, a good immune response to ovalbumin, a poor response to DNP-keyhole limpet haemocyanin and are resistant to induction of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (IgG1- and IgE- mediated). They are susceptible to immunosuppression of contact hypersensitivity by ultraviolet light, highly susceptible to TNBS-induced colitis and moderately susceptible to experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.

Development

The C57BL strain created by C.C. Little in the 1920's gave rise to the C57BL/6 and C57BL/10 substrains sometime before 1937, and the C57BL/10J substrain was separated from other C57BL/10 substrains in 1947.

Allele Symbol: P2rx7^P451L

Allele Name	P451L
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	P451L; P2rx7^P451L
Gene Symbol and Name	P2rx7, purinergic receptor P2X, ligand-gated ion channel, 7
Gene Synonym(s)	P2X(7); AI467586; P2X7 receptor; P2X7R; P2X7; expressed sequence AI467586
Strain of Origin	various
Chromosome	5
Molecular Note	A proline to leucine change at amino acid residue 451 is caused by a T to C transition at nucleic acid base 1352. This mutation is found in C57BL/6, C57BL/10, DBA/1, and DBA/2 and contrasts with the condition in BALB/c, NZW, NOD, 129, Mus caroli, M. spretus, M. musculus, and M. poschiavinus. The mutation lies within a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain homologous with the TNFR 1-death domain and with an SH3 binding protein.

Allele Name	myxovirus susceptibility 1
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	Mx1^s1; myxovirus susceptibility 1
Gene Symbol and Name	Mx1, MX dynamin-like GTPase 1
Gene Synonym(s)	Mx; Mx-1; Mx; Mx-1; AI893580; myxovirus (influenza) resistance 1 polypeptide; expressed sequence AI893580; IFI-78K; MxA; MX; IFI78; MXB
Strain of Origin	multiple strains
Chromosome	16
General Note	The Mx genes determine resistance to the lethal effects of various myxoviruses including neurotropic avian influenza A virus injected intracerebrally, pneumotropic strains injected intranasally, and a hepatotropic strain injected intraperitoneally (J:5645, J:13136). Resistance is not dependent on presence of the thymus and is not abolished by immunosuppression or by inhibitors of macrophage function (J:5735, J:5478, J:5645). Resistance is specific for the orthomyxoviruses (J:6265). It is dependent on the presence of interferon-alpha and -beta but not -gamma (J:7365). The resistance allele at the Mx1 locus, under induction by alpha/beta interferon, produces the 75 kDa protein MX-1, which confers resistance to the influenza virus, in the nuclei of cells carrying the allele. Susceptibility alleles do not produce the protein (J:8273). The protein is located in the nucleus (J:7703) and produces its antiviral effect by preventing synthesis of viral mRNA in the nucleus (J:7992). Nuclear localization is necessary for anti-influenza virus activity (J:1417), but mutations induced in Mx1 showed that nuclear position was not sufficient for the effect; mutations in several domains can cause its loss (J:11840). The MX-1 protein is a GTPase containing a GTP binding domain (J:1417) and this binding core is also necessary (J:21243). Resistance is expressed by macrophages and other cells in vitro (J:6649, J:5940) but could not be transferred to susceptible animals by transfer of macrophages from resistant mice (J:6149). Resistance to infection with two tick-borne viruses, Thogoto virus (J:8273) and Dhori virus (J:27760), is also conferred by Mx1^r. The Mx1^r allele occurs only in strains A2G, SL/NiA, and T9, the latter being a strain derived from an influenza-resistant wild stock, and CAST/Ei, derived from Mus musculus castaneus. Most inbred strains, including C57BL/6J, C3H/HeJ, and BALB/cJ, carry an influenza susceptible Mx1^s1 allele which produces mRNA lacking exons 9, 10, and 11 of the Mx1^r allele. This large deletion apparently renders the protein incapable of providing resistance to influenza. The CBA/J, CE/J, I/LnJ, and PERA/Ei strains, also susceptible to the virus, have another form of the Mx1^s2 allele in which there is a nonsense mutation (J:9452). Interferon is induced by viral infection and in turn induces the Mx protein (J:7703). Although some interferon-induced genes respond directly to virus invasion as well as indirectly through induction by virus-induced interferon, this primary response is very weak for the MX-1 protein in response to either influenza or Newcastle disease viruses (J:1892).
Molecular Note	Many inbred mouse strains have an exon 9 to 11 deletion, resulting in a null allele and susceptibility to myxoviruses, including: A/J, ABP/Le, AKR/J, AU/SsJ, BALB/cJ, BDP/J, BUB/BnJ, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, C57BL/10J, C57BL/KsJ, C57L/J, C58/J, DA/HuSn, DBA/2J, FSB/GnEi, FVB/NJ, LIS/A, LP/J, MA/MyJ, MAS/A, NZB/BINJ, P/J, PL/J, RIIIS/J, RF/J, SEA/GnJ, SEC1/ReJ, SJL/J, ST/bJ, TS1/A, TW1/A.
