Overview

Also Known As:rnv3, retinal vascularization 3 model
, NRV2 mice

This strain, which is homozygous for both of Crb1^rd8 and Jak3^m1J, has a more severe phenotype than Crb1^rd8 homozygotes lacking the Jak3^m1J mutation, with early-onset multifocal depigmented retinal lesions and photoreceptor loss. The phenotype of the combined genotype provides the model retinal vascularization 3 (rnv3).

Detailed Description

The ocular phenotype of Crb1^rd8 homozygotes is increased in severity by the additional homozygosity of Jak3^m1J. Double homozygotes develop multifocal depigmented retinal lesions by 18 days of age which expand in size and by 25 days of age fluorescein leakage is also found. This increases with age and is associated with progressive photoreceptor degeneration and accompanying deterioration of electroretinogram responses. At 8 weeks of age both scotopic and photopic electroretinogram responses are slightly reduced and by 8 months of age this reduction is severe. Neovessels extend from the deep retinal vascular plexus in the outer plexiform layer through the outer retina between 17 and 25 days of age and balloon-like neovessel structures are found in the photreceptor cell layer. By 2 months aberrant vessels are found to span from the retinal pigment epithelium to the inner nuclear layer, the outer nuclear layer is thinner than normal, and photoreceptor cell degeneration occurs where this vasculature disrupts the retina. In addition to the ocular phenotype these double homozygotes have small thymi and spleens due to homozygosity of the Jak3^m1J mutation and can develop pneumocystis and die by 6 months of age. Sublines were bred from this strain that have only the Crb1^rd8 mutation (see Stock # 031586) or only the Jak3^m1J mutation (see Stock # 031587).

Development

Fundus retinal depigmentation spots were identified in the strain B6;129-Crhr1^tm1Klee/J. These mice were backcrossed once to C57BL/6J and the resulting F1 hybrids intercrossed. From that population mice lacking the Crhr1^tm1Klee mutation but expressing the retinal depigmentation spots were selected and this ocular phenotype was moved onto the C57BL/6J background by repeated rounds of backcross-intercross breeding until NE5 when the strain was intercrossed for homozygosity of both Crb1^rd8 and Jak3^m1J and maintained by sibling intercrossing.

Crb1^rd8

Allele Symbol: Crb1^rd8

Allele Name	retinal degeneration 8
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	Crb1^6N; nmf144; Rd8^-
Gene Symbol and Name	Crb1, crumbs family member 1, photoreceptor morphogenesis associated
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	C57BL/6By or C57BL/6N
Chromosome	1
Molecular Note	The mutation in the rd8 mouse has been identified as a single base deletion of a C (G on forward strand) at coding nucleotide 3481 in the gene. This deletion causes a frame shift and a premature stop codon that truncates the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain of the protein after amino acid 1207. This mutation has been found to be present in all sublines of C57BL/6N and in C57BL/6ByJ, but not in any C57BL/6J subline. It occurred sometime between transfer of mice from JAX to NIH, in 1951, and from NIH to Donald Bailey, in 1961.

Jak3^m1J

Allele Symbol: Jak3^m1J

Allele Name	mutation 1, Jackson
Allele Type	Spontaneous (Not Specified)
Allele Synonym(s)
Gene Symbol and Name	Jak3, Janus kinase 3
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	B6;129-Crhr1^tm1Klee/J
Chromosome	8
Molecular Note	This spontaneous G to A transition in exon 24 results in a missense mutation, changing codon 1081 from CGG, arginine, to CAG, glutamine. This occurred in a gene sequence already containing the A to C transversion in codon 1032 common in at least 27 inbred strains, which causes an amino acid change from serine to arginine.

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.

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.
