Important Note

This strain is homozygous for Cdh23^ahl, the age related hearing loss 1 mutation, which on this background results in progressive hearing loss with onset after 10 months of age.

Detailed Description

BALB/c mice are particularly well known for the production of plasmacytoma on injection with mineral oil, forming the basis for the production of monoclonal antibodies. Although not all BALB/c substrains have been examined for plasmacytoma induction, substrains derived from the Andervont (An) lineage (which includes BALB/cByJ) typically are susceptible, while those descended from BALB/cJ are resistant. Mammary tumor incidence is normally low, but infection with mammary tumor virus by fostering to MMTV⁺ C3H mice dramatically increases tumor number and age of onset. BALB/c mice develop other cancers later in life, including reticular neoplasm, primary lung tumors, and renal tumors. Rare spontaneous myoepitheliomas arising from myoepithelial cells of various exocrine glands have been observed in both BALB/cJ and BALB/cByJ substrains. A deficiency of Acads (acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase, short chain) leads to severe organic aciduria. BALB/cByJ develop a fatty liver upon fasting or dietary fat challenge and become hypoglycemic after an 18-hour fast. BALB/cByJ mice have the advantage of better reproductive performance and less aggression than mice of the BALB/cJ substrain.

BALB/c mice are predisposed to dystrophic cardiac calcinosis (mineralization of cardiac tissues). Using BALB/cByJ and BALB/cJ mice obtained from The Jackson Laboratory, a study by the laboratory of Dr. Steven Taffet reports that BALB/cByJ mice exhibited more frequent and severe calcium deposition (44/49; 90% at 5 weeks of age) than did BALB/cJ (1/6; 17% at 5 weeks of age) or other BALB/c substrains [Glass et al. 2013 Comp Med 63: 29 (PMID:23561935)].

Development

This is a substrain of BALB (Bagg’s albino) derived initially from the BALB strain maintained by MacDowell at Cold Spring Harbor, eventually sent to Andervont as BALB/cAn and to NIH where D.W. Bailey obtained the substrain and maintained it through locations at the University of California Medical School at San Francisco and ultimately at The Jackson Laboratory. In 1975 at generation F136 BALB/cBy (Stock No. 000650) mice were sent to JAX production facility upon hysterectomy derivation and became the BALB/cByJ substrain.

The Andervont/Bailey lineage and the lineage giving rise to BALB/cJ were separated from the BALB/c line maintained by Snell at The Jackson Laboratory during the period of 1937 to 1939 around generation F36.

Hld

Allele Symbol: Hld

Allele Name	hippocampal lamination defect
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)
Gene Symbol and Name	Hld, hippocampal lamination defect
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	BALB/cJ
Chromosome	UN

Ahr^b-2

Allele Symbol: Ahr^b-2

Allele Name	b-2 variant
Allele Type	Not Applicable
Allele Synonym(s)	Ah^b-2; Ah^h
Gene Symbol and Name	Ahr, aryl-hydrocarbon receptor
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	BALB/cBy
Chromosome	12
General Note	C57BL/6 carries the responsive Ahr^b allele; DBA/2 carries nonresponsive Ahr^d. Heterozygotes (Ahr^b/Ahr^d) are responsive (J:5282). Later work identified a second (J:8895) and later a third (J:22144) allele conferring response. Thus the allele in C57, C58, and MA/My strains is now Ahr^b-1; Ahr^b-2 is carried by BALB/cBy, A, and C3H; and Ahr^b-3 by Mus spretus, M. caroli, and MOLF/Ei. The nonresponsive strains AKR, DBA/2, and 129 carry Ahrd (J:22144). Nucleotide and amino acid sequence differences between Ahr^b-1 and Ahr^d have been determined (J:17460). Strain of origin - this allele was found in BALB/cByJ, A/J, C3H/HeJ, CBA strains
Molecular Note	This allele encodes a high affinity, heat labile, 104 kDa receptor containing 848 amino acids. Sequencing studies of cDNA from C57BL/6J congenic mice homozygous for this allele identified nucleotide substitutions in the ORF that would cause 5 amino acid differences between the C57BL/6J and BALB/cBy peptides, and 2 amino acid differences between the BALB/cBy and DBA/2J peptides. A T to C transition in exon 11 replaces the opal termination codon in the C57BL/6J allele with an arginine codon in the BALB/cBy allele. This change would extend translation of the BALB/cBy mRNA by 43 amino acids, accounting for the larger size of the peptide produced by this allele (104 kDa, vs 95 kDa for the C57BL/6J allele).

Cdh23^ahl

Allele Symbol: Cdh23^ahl

Allele Name	age related hearing loss 1
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	Cdh23^753A; mdfw
Gene Symbol and Name	Cdh23, cadherin 23 (otocadherin)
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	multiple strains
Chromosome	10
Molecular Note	Genetic complementation tests have shown allelism between the mdfw (modifier of deaf waddler) locus and the ahl locus. Further analysis has shown this is caused by a G to A transition at coding nucleotide position 753 of Cdh23 (SNP rs257098870). This hypomorphic allele changes splice donor site G-GT to A-GT, causing frame skipping of exon 7. This is predicted to delete part of the 2nd and 3rd ectodomains and cause reduced message stability. Twenty-seven strains classified with ahl and carrying the 753A allele include: CD-1, RBF/DnJ, PL/J, AKR/J, RF/J, BALB/cBy, A/WySnJ, P/J, SENCARA/PtJ, DBA/1J, ALS/LtJ, C58/J, C57BLKS/J, 129P1/ReJ, C57BR/cd, SKH2/J, BUB/Bn, MA/MyJ, LP/J, 129X1/SvJ, NOR/LtJ, A/J, C57BL/6, NOD/LtJ, DBA/2J, ALR/LtJ, C57L/J. Strains classified with ahl that DO NOT carry this mutation include: 129S1/SvImJ, C3H/HeSnJ, I/LnJ, YBR/Ei, MRL/MpJ.

Acads^del-J

Allele Symbol: Acads^del-J

Allele Name	deletion, Jackson
Allele Type	Spontaneous (Null/Knockout)
Allele Synonym(s)	Bcd-1^c; Scad
Gene Symbol and Name	Acads, acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase, short chain
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	BALB/cByJ
Chromosome	5
Molecular Note	A 278bp deletion occurs which starts in intron "A" and includes exon "B" and the first 78bp of exon "C". As a result of this deletion, mRNA transcription is reduced to about 35% of normal and includes two forms, a longer normal length transcript and a shorter misspliced form. If these mRNAs were translated they both would result in truncated products. Protein product is undetectable immunologically and there is a total absence of enzyme activity.

If1^l

Allele Symbol: If1^l

Allele Name	low response
Allele Type	Spontaneous (Hypomorph)
Allele Synonym(s)
Gene Symbol and Name	If1, NDV-induced circulating interferon
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	BALB/c
Chromosome	3
Molecular Note	This phenotypic variation causing decreased interferon production in response to particular stimuli has been mapped to distal Chromosome 3

B2m^a

Allele Symbol: B2m^a

Allele Name	a variant
Allele Type	Spontaneous (Not Applicable)
Allele Synonym(s)

Strain of Origin	multiple strains

Molecular Note	The a variant is slightly slower running on SDS PAGE and was found to have an aspartic acid at amino acid position 85. This allele is found in A, BALB/c, LP and most other strains.

Payment for services, products, shipping containers, and shipping costs that are rendered are expected within the payment terms indicated on the invoice or stated by contract.

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. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
