Mice homozygous for the Cd1tm1Gru knock-out mutation are deficient in both the Cd1d1 and Cd1d2 genes (CD1.1, CD1.2). Homozygous mutant mice lack the normal natural killer cell -like T cell subset.

Mice homozygous for the Cd1tm1Gru targeted mutation are deficient in both the Cd1d1 and Cd1d2 genes (CD1.1, CD1.2). Homozygous mutant mice lack the normal natural killer cell -like T cell subset. However, type 2 T helper cell (TH2) response is normal, demonstrating that this T cell subset is not required for TH2 response, as previously believed.
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.
The targeting vector used deleted most of the Cd1d1 and Cd1d2 coding regions. The intergenic sequence was maintined.

Strain of Origin | 129S2/SvPas |
Chromosome | 3 |
Molecular Note | Both the Cd1d1 gene and the adjacent Cd1d2 gene were mutated in this allele. The coding sequence of Cd1d1 was replaced with a neomycin selection cassette and the coding sequence of Cd1d2 was deleted; however, the intergenic sequence was retained. Flow cytometric analysis on thymocytes derived from homozygous mice confirmed that no stable encoded protein was expressed on the cell surface. |

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.
