Detailed Description

These mice possess two functional loxP sites flanking exons 3-4 of the targeted gene on the X chromosome (the donating investigator reports that the middle loxP site is non-functional). Homozygous females and hemizygous males are viable and fertile. Northern blot analysis showed the expected mature transcript from the Mecp2^lox locus as well as a transcript in which the beta-globin intron was unspliced. When these mutant mice are bred to mice that express Cre recombinase, resulting offspring will have exons 3-4 deleted in the cre-expressing tissue(s). Mice with this X-linked floxed mutation may be useful in neurological and developmental studies of Rett syndrome.

For example, when crossed to a strain expressing Cre recombinase in nervous tissue (see Stock No. 003771), this mutant mouse strain develops a neurological phenotype that mimics Rett syndrome.

When crossed to a strain expressing Cre recombinase in GABAergic neurons (see Stock No. 017535), these mice exhibit behaviors common to those seen in Rett Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

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.

Chromosome	X
Molecular Note	Insertion of a neomycin resistance cassette into the gene introduced loxP sites that flank exons 3 and 4, and added an intron and polyadenylation signal from the human beta globin gene. From the mutated allele, Northern blot analysis detected the wild type mature transcript and also a transcript in which the beta globin intron was unspliced.

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.

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.
