Detailed description

These mice have no MHC class II expression which makes them useful to facilitate the engraftment of human immune cells.

Development

A construct containing a neomycin expression cassette replaced the second exon of H2-Ab1 was transfected into D3 embryonic stem (ES) cells. These ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. To establish a colony with germ line transmission, chimeric mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6 and then made homozygote for H2-Ab1 mutation (Cosgrove et al, 1991) the mutation was then transferred to the NOD.scid background through 10 generations of backcrossing prior to making homozygote (Schultz et al, unpublished). The T1DR received this strain at N10F10.

Allele

Symbol: H2-Ab1^b-tm1Doi
Name: targeted mutation 1, Christophe Benoist and Diane Mathis
MGI accession ID: MGI:1927483
Generation method: Targeted
Attributes: Null/Knockout
Synonyms: A beta⁰; A^bbeta^-; AB0; Abeta-; Class II⁰; H2-Ab1^tm1Dim; H2-Ab1^tm1Doi; H2-Ab1tm1Doi; II⁰; MHC class II-; MHCII^-; MHC-II-k.o.
Marker symbol: H2-Ab1
Marker name: histocompatibility 2, class II antigen A, beta 1
Marker synonyms: A beta; Abeta; Bb; CELIAC1; DQB2; H-2Ab; H2-Ab; HLA-DQB; HLA-DQB1; HLA-DXB; I-A^b; Ia2; Ia-2; IAb; I-Abeta; IDDM1; Rmcs1; RT1.B
Chromosome: 17
Strain of origin: 129S2/SvPas
Molecular note: The second exon was disrupted by the insertion of a neomycin resistance gene. In addition, the ES cell line used was derived from the 129S2/SvPas strain, which carries a deletion in the promoter region of H2-Ea. Consequently, these MHC class II molecule-deficient mice lacked cell surface expression of both class II-A and class II-E MHC proteins.
