Detailed Description

This recessive mutant is a hypomorph, caused by a spontaneous IAP insertion in intron 1, that provides a model for infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD). Mice homozygous for the Pla2g6m1J mutation can often be distinguished by a slight tremor at approximately 90 days of age. A gradual weight loss also begins at that time and progresses until premature death. Loss of grip strength presents between 60 to 80 days of age and progresses such that by 100 days of age homozygotes can no longer hang suspended in the wire-hang test for more than a few seconds. The average age of death is approximately 120 days and few homozygotes survive beyond 6 months of age. Astrocytes taken from 6 to 8 week old homozygotes and cultured for 14 to 16 days have aberrant ATP-stimulated calcium signaling. Capacitative calcium entry in these astroctyes was found to be only 45% that of wildtype controls. Tubulovesicular accumulations, called spheroids, are found throughout the neuropil of brains from late-stage homozygotes.

Development

The Pla2g6m1J mutation arose spontaneously at The Jackson Laboratory in the C3H/HeJ inbred colony in 2000. This mutation has remained on a pure C3H/HeJ background, was backcrossed once to C3H/HeJ in approximately 2001, three generations after it was identified, and has been maintained since then primarily by sibling breeding with some cousin or closed colony breeding. Initially maintained by the Mouse Mutant Resource, this coisogenic mutant subline was transferred to the laboratory of Dr. Greg Cox in 2003.

Payment Terms and Conditions

Terms are granted by individual review and stated on the customer invoice(s) and account statement. These transactions are payable in U.S. currency within the granted terms. Payment for services, products, shipping containers, and shipping costs that are rendered are expected within the payment terms indicated on the invoice or stated by contract. Invoices and account balances in arrears of stated terms may result in The Jackson Laboratory pursuing collection activities including but not limited to outside agencies and court filings.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

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.
