These mutant mice have a reduced response to induced ear and paw inflammation, and exhibit impaired platelet aggregation with lengthened bleeding time.

Targeted (Hypomorph) | Ptgs1 | prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 |
Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Reduced gene product (protein) levels, 10% of wildtype levels, are detected by Western blot analysis of nonstimulated peritoneal macrophages. RT-PCR analysis of stomach and kidney tissue reveals that gene product (mRNA) levels are reduced by 70-73%. This allele is a hypomorph. Mutant mice have a reduced response to arachidonic acid and capsaicin evoked ear inflammation and to carrageenan induced paw edema. Platelet aggregation is impaired as indicated by resistance to arachidonic acid induced thrombosis in vivo, and failure to aggregate in response to arachidonic acid in vitro. Mutant mice exhibit lengthened bleeding time. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies related to inflammatory immune response and thrombosis.

Strain of Origin | 129S6/SvEvTac |
Chromosome | 2 |
Molecular Note | A floxed PGK-neo was inserted into intron 10 to create this hypomorphic allele. Western blot showed that protein was dramatically reduced in mutant macrophages to approximately 10% of wild-type levels. |

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.
