Because Mmp9tm1Tvu homozygous mice show altered inflammatory responses they may be used to study injury response and repair, angiogenesis and inflammatory response.

Targeted (Null/Knockout) | Mmp9 | matrix metallopeptidase 9 |
Mice that are homozygous null for the Mmp9 (matrix metalloproteinase 9) gene are viable and fertile. No Mmp9 activity is detected in spleen cell lysates. Long bones (tibia, femur) are 10% shorter in homozygous null mice. Histological examination of three-week-old mice reveals a dramatically lengthened zone of hypertrophic cartilage (six to eight times larger vs. wild-type) due to delayed apoptosis, vascularization, and ossification. Subsequent remodeling resolves the condition, resulting in normal appearing bones by eight weeks of age. Null mice show altered responses to repair of injury in skin, cornea, central nervous system and bone marrow reconstitution, and altered inflammatory responses.
In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results become available.
A targeting vector containing a neomycin resistance gene driven by the mouse phosphoglycerate kinase promoter was used to disrupt a most of exon 2 and all of intron 2 of the Mmp9 gene. The construct was electroporated into 129S-derived ZW4 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts. The resulting chimeric male animals were mated with Swiss Black females. Progeny animals were mated to Black Swiss mice for an unknown number of generations before being mated with FVB/N animals. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory mice, were mated to C57BL/6J animals for a minimum of N5 generations.

This strain originated on a B6;129 background, was mated to Black Swiss mice for an unknown number of generations and crossed to FVB/N mice for five generations. It then was crossed to C57BL/6J mice for at least five generations. Coat color expected from breeding:nonagouti

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.
