Overview

Removal of this mouse colony is imminent. If live mice are needed for your studies, it is advised that they be ordered immediately. After removal, the mice will be available from a cryorecovery.

This triple congenic is useful as a cellular marker in transplantation studies in conjunction with C57BL/6J inbred mice (Igh^b, Thy1^b, Gpi1^b). Igh is a B cell specific marker, Thy1 is a T cell specific surface marker, and Gpi1 is an enzyme that is widely expressed in mouse tissues, cultured fibroblasts, and in several types of tumors.

Detailed Description

This congenic strain was made by mating together, not backcrossing, three individual congenic strains carrying differential alleles already on a C57BL/6J genetic background (B6.C-Igh^a, B6.PL-Thy1^a, and B6.CAST-Gpi1^a). This triple congenic is useful as a cellular marker in transplantation studies in conjunction with C57BL/6J inbred mice (Igh^b, Thy1^b, Gpi1^b). Igh is a B cell specific marker, Thy1 is a T cell specific surface marker, and Gpi1 is an enzyme that is widely expressed in mouse tissues, cultured fibroblasts, and in several types of tumors.

Homozygous mice exhibit ^a haplotype in peripheral blood [view data; July 2020].

Development

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 the 27 markers throughout the genome suggested a C57BL/6 genetic background, 1 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 C57BL/6N genetic background.

Gpi1^a

Allele Symbol: Gpi1^a

Allele Name	a variant
Allele Type	Not Applicable
Allele Synonym(s)
Gene Symbol and Name	Gpi1, glucose phosphate isomerase 1
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	Not Applicable
Chromosome	7
Molecular Note	This allele determines a slower migrating variant of the encoded enzyme and occurs in the wild and in strains 101/H, A/HeJ, AKR/J, BALB/cJ, C57BR/cdJ, C58/J, CE/J, DBA/2J, DE/J, DW/J, LP/J, MA/J, NZB, PL/J, P/J, RARF, RF/J, SJL/J, ST/bJ, and 129/J. Sequencing analysis identified four nucleotide differences between this allele and Gpi1^b. Two differences are silent, while a third difference at position nucleotide position 282 predicts an aspartate for the a allele and an asparagine for the b allele at amino acid position 94. A fourth difference in the 3' untranslated region was also noted.

Thy1^a

Allele Symbol: Thy1^a

Allele Name	a variant
Allele Type	Not Applicable
Allele Synonym(s)	thetaAKR; theta-AKR; Thy1.1; Thy-1.1; Thy1a
Gene Symbol and Name	Thy1, thymus cell antigen 1, theta
Gene Synonym(s)
Site of Expression	The Thy1 locus determines a surface antigen present on cells of the thymus, a number of mouse leukemias, brain, and in lesser amounts on lymph node and spleen cells.
Strain of Origin	Not Applicable
Chromosome	9
General Note	The Thy1 locus determines a surface antigen present on cells of the thymus, a number of mouse leukemias, brain, and in lesser amounts on lymph node and spleen cells. The allele Thy1^a determines an antigenic specificity, Thy-1.1, found in the AKR and RF strains; the allele Thy1^b determines an antigenic specificity, Thy-1.2, found in the C3HeB/Fe and many other strains (J:5243, J:5012, J:4469). The Thy1 antigen is probably present on all T lymphocytes and absent from all B lymphocytes, and it thus serves as a valuable T-cell marker (J:5243). It is very widely used in experiments designed to determine the distribution and function of T-cells. Thy1 specifies a T-cell surface glycoprotein, T25, with a molecular weight of 25 kDa (J:5707). The protein appears to be anchored in the cell membrane by a lipid that is either phosphotidylinositol or closely related to it (J:12016). Thy1 may function in the cell membrane as a signal transduction molecule (J:8333). The Thy1 locus, or possibly a gene closely linked to it, controls quantitative expression of a protein that is the same size as Thy1 and is expressed on thymus and brain but not on lymph node and spleen cells (J:7900).
Molecular Note	The allele Thy1^a determines an antigenic specificity, Thy-1.1, found in the AKR and RF strains.

Terms are granted by individual review and stated on the customer invoice(s) and account statement. These transactions are payable in U.S. currency within the granted terms. 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. Invoices and account balances in arrears of stated terms may result in The Jackson Laboratory pursuing collection activities including but not limited to outside agencies and court filings.

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.
