Details

Detailed Description

Rag1 and H2-Ab1 deficient NOD mice carrying transgenes encoding humanized CD4 and HLA-DQ6 lack T and B cells and are free of autoimmune diabetes and cardiomyopathy, and do not develop thyroiditis.

This model is useful in adoptive transfer experiments and in studying MHC class II-based resistance and susceptibility in autoimmunity.

Development

Congenic, H2-Ab1 deficient, NOD mice carrying transgenes encoding CD4 and a human genomic fragment containing the entire HLA-DQ6 gene (DQA1*0102, DQB1*0602, Stock No. 006023) were crossed to congenic Rag1 deficient NOD mice (Stock No. 003729), and were bred to homozygosity for the H2-Ab1^tm1Gru and Rag1^tm1Mom targeted mutations. The T1DR received this strain in 2006.

Rag1^tm1Mom

Allele Symbol: Rag1^tm1Mom

Allele Name	targeted mutation 1, Peter Mombaerts
Allele Type	Targeted (Null/Knockout)
Allele Synonym(s)	Rag-; Rag^1tm1Mom; RAG-1-; Rag1^-; RAG1^null; Rag-1KO
Gene Symbol and Name	Rag1, recombination activating gene 1
Gene Synonym(s)
Site of Expression	expression is seen in bone marrow derived cell lines.
Strain of Origin	129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt⁺
Chromosome	2
Molecular Note	A 1356 bp genomic fragment of the Rag1 gene, encoding the nuclear localization signal and the zinc-finger motif, was replaced by a neomycin cassette. A mutant transcript expressed from this allele was detected by Northern blot in bone marrow derived cell lines from homozygous mice.

H2-Ab1^tm1Gru

Allele Symbol: H2-Ab1^tm1Gru

Allele Name	targeted mutation 1, Michael J Grusby
Allele Type	Targeted (Null/Knockout)
Allele Synonym(s)	[KO]Ab^b; A^bbeta^-; Ab1^tm1Gru; Abb-; Abb^tm1; Abeta-; Abeta^b-; C2-; H2-Ab1^-; H2-Ab1^tm1Glm; I-A^b-; IAb^-; IAbeta-; I-Abeta^b-; MHC class II-; MHC-II-deficient; mII^-
Gene Symbol and Name	H2-Ab1, histocompatibility 2, class II antigen A, beta 1
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	129S2/SvPas
Chromosome	17
Molecular Note	A neomycin selection cassette was inserted into exon 2. 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.

Expressed Gene	CD4, CD4 molecule, human
Expressed Gene	HLA-DQB1, major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ beta 1, human
Strain of Origin	NOD/ShiLtJ
Chromosome	UN
Molecular Note	The human CD4 gene lacking one exon but including its promoter was fused downstream of a mouse CD4 enhancer element then mixed with a large DNA fragment containing both HLA-DQA0102 and HLA-DQB0602 and injected into NOD/LtJ one celled embryos. A single founder line is maintained.

Breeding Considerations

When maintaining a live colony, mice homozygous for both targeted mutations and hemizygous for the transgene may be bred together. These mice are immunodeficient and need to be maintained in a high barrier environment with sterile food and water.

Rag1-deficient, H2-Ab1-deficient mice are immunodeficient. As such, and similar to other immunodeficient strains, maintenance in high health status (specific pathogen-free) vivaria promotes overall colony health. If these animals are maintained in low health barrier rooms, the use of medicated water (e.g., sulfatrim/trimethoprim-sulfa or enrofloxacin/Baytril) is suggested to increase overall colony health.

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.
