These mice carry a spontaneous remutation at the Sptbn locus characterized by prominent spontaneous and evoked hyperactivities at diaphragm neuromuscular junctions.

Mice homozygous for the quivering 3 Jackson spontaneous mutation (Sptbnqv-3J) are very similar to mice homozygous for the quivering-Jackson mutation (Sptbnqv-J). Homozygous quivering mutant mice are characterized by locomotor instability, pronounced quivering, deafness, varying degrees of paralysis of the hindlegs, clasping of the hindlegs when held up by the tail, and priapism in most males. Serial sections of the brain, cord, and nerve roots reveal no abnormalities, and urinary amino acids are normal. The inner ear is histologically normal and has normal thresholds for compound action potentials at the round window. However, the thresholds for potentials in the inferior colliculus are twice as high as normal, showing that the deafness, unlike that of any other deaf mutants in the mouse, is of central origin. Viability of homozygous mutant mice at weaning is normal, but the life span is short, the majority dying before 5 months of age. Males are sterile, but have been used successfully for in vitro fertilization. Females may be fertile and nurse their young.
The quivering 3 Jackson mutation (qv-3J) arose spontaneously at The Jackson Laboratory in the strain C57BL/6J-jsd/J in approximately1984 when that strain was at F142+6. In 1985 embryos were generated for cryopreservation by crossing homozygous females at generation F3 and F4 with C57BL/6J males.

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.
