Although Ifngr2 deficient mice on the NOD/Lt background are defective in Ifng induced gene expression, they exhibit no significant difference in leukocyte subset (CD4 positive T cells, CD8 positive T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and granulocutes) as compared to NOD/Lt controls. Upon stimulation of cultured T cells in vitro with anti-CD3, Ifngr2 deficient NOD mice produce more IFNG and significantly more Il4 than NOD controls. Ifngr2 mutant mice develop IDDM at a similar rate as NOD/Lt controls (85% female incidence after 30 weeks in mutant mice versus 100% female incidence in standard NOD/Lt controls). (Serreze et al 2000)
To disrupt the Th1/Th2 signaling function of IFNG, without affecting the other functions of IFNG, the Ifngr2 gene was disrupted. A replacement vector of 11 kb including the Ifngr2 gene was derived from a 129/Sv genomic library and the second exon was replaced by a neomycin resistence cassette. After transfection, correctly targeted W9.5 ES cells (derived from 129S1/Sv-p+ Tyr+ Kitl+) were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts and resulting heterozygous chimeric mice were intercrossed to create homozygous Ifngr2 deficient mice. The disrupted Ifngr2 gene was then congenically transferred to the NOD/Lt background using a marker assisted protocol. NOD/Lt mice heterozygous for the Ifngr2 mutation and homozygous for diabetes susceptibility loci (Idd) were intercrossed at N8 to develop mice homozygous for the mutation and all Idd loci.

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.
