Detailed Description

On this C57BL/6J congenic background this spontaneous mutation in Gnat2 causes homozygotes to have an abnormal light-adapted electroretinogram as early as 3 weeks of age, the earliest timepoint assessed. Fundus photographs are normal and no abnormalities are detected in retinal structure by 6 months of age in optical coherence tomography and histology.

On the ALS/LtJ background, electroretinography shows that cpfl3 homozyogtes have poor cone-mediated responses evident by 3 week of age and completely lack cone-mediated responses from 9 weeks of age on. Rod-mediated responses are nearly normal, but with some diminution with age. Histology shows the normal 8 to 10 rows of rod nuclei at 6 and 15 weeks of age, but vacuolization and shortening of the photoreceptor outer segments is found at 27 weeks of age. Loss of immunohistochemical staining of cone-specific alpha transducin occurs by 4 weeks of age yet peanut agglutinin staining shows a normal number of cone outer segments at 14 weeks of age. Fundus photographs are essentially normal except for slightly dilated retinal veins and slightly contracted arterioles at 8 months of age.

Development

The Gnat2^cpfl3 allele was backcrossed from ALS/LtJ onto C57BL/6J in the laboratory of Dr. Bo Chang at The Jackson Laboratory and subsequently bred to homozygosity. The mutation consists of a single nucleotide substitution of G to A at position 598 in exon 6. This mutation converts codon 200 from aspartic acid to asparagine.

We will fulfill your order by providing at least two carriers for each strain ordered. The total number, sex, and genotypes provided will vary, although typically 8 or more animals are provided. Please check genotypes which will be recovered. While the genotypes of all animals produced will be communicated to you prior to scheduling shipment, the genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme and genotypes described in the strain description. Animals are typically ready to ship in 11-14 weeks. If a second recovery is required to produce the minimum number of animals, then delivery time would increase to approximately 25 weeks. If we fail to produce animals of the correct genotype, you will not be charged. We cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.

Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice. Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation.

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.
