Targeted (Reporter, Null/Knockout) | Csf3 | colony stimulating factor 3 (granulocyte) |
Mice homozygous for the Csf3tm1Ard targeted mutation are viable and fertile but are characterized by chronic neutropenia. Peripheral blood neutrophil levels of homozygotes are 20 to 30% of wildtype. There is a 50% reduction of granulocyte, macrophage and blast progenitor cells in marrow of homozygous mice and an impaired resistance to infection with Listeria monocytogenes.
The Csf3-deficient strain was produced in the laboratory of Dr. Ashley Dunn from the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Victoria, Australia. A replacement type targeting vector was used that resulted in the deletion of exons 1 and 2 and most of exon 3. E14 derived ES cells were used.

Expressed Gene | lacZ, beta-galactosidase, E. coli |
Strain of Origin | 129P2/OlaHsd |
Chromosome | 11 |
Molecular Note | A 0.7kb genomic fragment containing exons 1-3 was replaced by a lacZ gene and neomycin resistance cassette. This mutation placed the lacZ gene under the control of the Csf3 promoter elements. An activity assay demonstrated that the functional protein was not detectable in cultured medium derived from organ cultures of various tissues of homozygous mice. |
Mutations Made By | Dr. Ashley Dunn, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research |
The Csf3-deficient strain is maintained by homozygous sibling matings. This strain should be housed under pathogen free conditions similar to the Prkdcscid/Prkdcscid mouse or any other immunodeficient strain. It is on a mixed C57BL/6 x 129/Ola genetic background.
When using the G-CSF- mouse strain in a publication, please cite the originating article(s) and include JAX stock #002398 in your Materials and Methods section.

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.
