Homozygous mice of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (Cdkn1b) knock-out (also referred to as p27kip ) exhibit multi-organ hyperplasia and develop pituitary tumors. These mice may be useful in studies of tumorigenesis.

Targeted (Null/Knockout) | Cdkn1b | cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B |
Mice deficient in p27kip are viable and larger than normal littermates, with increased cellularity of all tissues. The thymus and spleen are particularly enlarged. Homozygous (nullizygous) adult mice have a shortened lifespan due to the growth of benign intermediate lobe pituitary tumors. Female mice are infertile, with a follicular phase ovulatory block. Large doses of exogenous gonadotropin induce ovulation, but both implantation and intrauterine embryonic development is impaired. The mice demonstrate haploid-insufficient susceptibility to the development of adenomas in the pituitary, intestine and lung adenomas following exposure to gamma irradiation or chemical carcinogens.
This strain was generated by Dr. Matthew Fero at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The targeting construct contains a neo resistance gene and replaces the entire coding region of the Cdkn1b gene. 129S4/SvJaeSor-derived AK7 ES cells were used and the mutation was subsequently backcrossed to C57BL/6 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.
