Overview

Also Known As:C45 E613R/129.F9, CD45 E613R

B, T, and myeloid cells in mice homozygous for this targeted point mutation are hyperresponsive to stimulation, and B cell development is skewed to the B1 cell lineage. A mild lymphoproliferative disorder is developed but mice develop low titer or no autoantibodies.

Detailed Description

Mice homozygous for this targeted point mutation are viable and fertile. The phenotype of this mutation, which inactivates the inhibitory wedge of the protein, is dependent upon the genetic background. On the 129S6 background, B, T, and myeloid cells are hyperresponsive to stimulation at a biochemical and cellular level. B cell development is skewed to the B1 cell lineage. A mild lymphoproliferative disorder develops, but the autoantibodies associated with the mixed C57BL/6 and 129 background do not develop (or do so at low titer). Cell surface expression of the protein is indistinguishable from wildtype as determined by flow cytometry of hematpoietic lineages in bone marrow, lymph node, spleen, thymus, peritoneal lavage, and peripheral blood.

Development

A targeting vector carrying the glutamate 613 (E613R) mutation in exon 18 and a loxP-flanked neomycin resistance cassette in the downstream intron was transfected into 129X1/SvJ-derived JM-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Targeted clones were microinjected into C57BL/6 blastocysts and mice derived from the resultant lines were bred to a C57BL/6 background Actb-Cre transgenic mouse to eliminate the neomycin resistance cassette. This line was crossed to C57BL/6, and later backcrossed to 129S6/SvEvTac for nine generations by the donating laboratory.

Allele Symbol: Ptprc^tm1Weis

Allele Name	targeted mutation 1, Arthur Weiss
Allele Type	Targeted (Humanized sequence)
Allele Synonym(s)	CD45 E613R; Cd45^w; Wedge
Gene Symbol and Name	Ptprc, protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, C
Gene Synonym(s)
Promoter	Ptprc, protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, C, mouse, laboratory
Strain of Origin	129X1/SvJ
Chromosome	1
Molecular Note	To recapitulate a mutation in the orthologous human gene that disrupts the inhibitory wedge, a glutamate to arginine substitution at codon 613 (E613R) was engineered in exon 18 and incorporated at the endogenous locus via homolgous recombination. A single loxP site remained in intron 18 after the floxed neo cassette was excised.

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.
