These Tlx1 knock-out mice lack a spleen. They are suitable for use in applications related to the study of the role of the spleen in hematopoiesis and immunity.

Mice homozygous for the Tlx1tm1Sjk targeted mutation lack a spleen; however, all other internal organs are normal. Characteristics include: dominant hemimelia (spontaneous mutation in the mouse), asplenia and many other defects including polydactyly or oligodactyly of the hindlimbs, tibial hemimelia, and sometimes reduction of the femur and pubic element of the pelvic girdle. Pharyngeal and mastication muscles derived from the branchial arches are present and anatomically normal homozygotes have normal cranial ganglia morphology and position and normal cranial motor nuclei function. There are normal numbers of RBCs but increased numbers of WBCs, including neutrophils and lymphocytes. The B-cell and T-cell profile is normal in the thymus, lymph nodes and peripheral blood. Many erythrocytes have nuclear fragments (Howell-Jolly bodies).
In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. This is the case for the strain above. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results become available.
Exon one (of three) was disrupted by PGK neo in the targeting vector. D3 ES cells were used.

Strain of Origin | 129S2/SvPas |
Chromosome | 19 |
Molecular Note | Exon 1 was disrupted by the insertion of a neomycin selection cassette into codon 53. Transcript was undetected by in situ hybridization of homozygous mutant mice. |

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.
