Targeted (Null/Knockout) | Il1r1 | interleukin 1 receptor, type I |
Interleukin 1 receptor, type I, is a receptor for interleukin 1 (IL1), which affects many cytokine induced immune and inflammatory responses. Mice homozygous for the Il1rtm1Imx targeted mutation therefore fail to respond to IL1 and exhibit an altered immune response to many different target proteins. Some effects seen from knocking out this receptor include defective responses to certain inflammatory agents such as turpentine and altered response to various pathogenic organisms such as S. aureus and C. pneumoniae.
Other observed effects include enhanced glucose homeostasis, enhanced insulin sensitivity of adipose tissue, reduction in diet-induced systemic atherosclerosis, improved restoration of normal skin architecture in wounds, increased incidence of acute convulsive seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole, and a decrease in anxiety-related behaviors.
A null mutation in Il1r1 was generated by homologous recombination in 129/SvEv AB1 ES cells using a replacement vector in which a 2.4 kb EcoR1-Pst1 fragment encompassing two exons was replaced with a PGKneo cassette. Targeted mutant mice were backcrossed 5 times to C57BL/6 prior to importation (see SNP note below).
A 48 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 43 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. One the 43 markers on Chromosome 8 was segregating with 129. Also, 2 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 mixed C57BL/6J ; C57BL/6N genetic background.

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.
