Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. No gene product (protein) is detected by flow cytometry analysis of leukocytes. Homozygotes have elevated total leukocyte counts, with increased numbers of neutrophils, lympohcytes and eosinophils. Leukocytes isolated from homozygotes exhibit abnormal tethering and rolling (adhesion and migration) due to impaired attachment. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies of leukocyte adhesion and migration in the inflammatory response.
This strain was transferred from the collection of the Consortium for Functional Glycomics.
A targeting vector containing neomycin resistance and herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase genes was used to disrupt the 5’ end of exon 2 and the ATG translational start site sequence. The construct was electroporated into 129S1/Sv-p+ Tyr+ KitlSl-J/+ derived CJ7 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6J mice. Heterozygotes were crossed to generate homozygotes. The mice were then backcrossed to C57BL/6J for 5 generations.

Allele Type | Targeted (Null/Knockout) |
Allele Synonym(s) | PSGL-1-; PSGL-1 KO; Selpl- |
Gene Symbol and Name | Selplg, selectin, platelet (p-selectin) ligand |
Gene Synonym(s) | |
Strain of Origin | 129S1/Sv-Oca2+ Tyr+ Kitl+ |
Chromosome | 5 |
Molecular Note | A neomycin resistance cassette replaced the 5' portion of exon 2, which includes the translation initiation start site, via homologous recombination. Flow cytometry was used to confirm the absence of gene expression in leukocytes of homozygous mutant animals. |
When maintaining a live colony, these mice are bred as homozygotes.

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.
