Targeted (Reporter, Null/Knockout) | H2-M10.2 | histocompatibility 2, M region locus 10.2 |
This allele has green fluorescent protein fused to the C-terminus of H2-M10.2, permitting visualization of its expression pattern. 95% of the subset of vomeronasal sensory neurons that express H2-Mv genes express H2-M10.2. Expression of H2-M10.2 is found in both dendrites and axons of vomeronasal sensory neurons. Immunohistochemistry shows expression at the vomeronasal organ dendrite tip, but not at synaptic terminals in the accessory olfactory bulb. At five weeks of age this protein is abundantly present at microvilli in the vomeronasal organ and can also be found in the glomeruli of the accessory olfactory bulb.
This mutation was generated in 129P2/OlaHsd derived E14 ES cells and the ACNf neomycin cassette was self-excised by cre recombination in the germline of the male chimera. Outcrossing to C57BL/6J preceded intercrossing to homozygosity. In 2007 sperm were cryopreserved from homozygous males on this mixed B6;129P2 background

Strain of Origin | 129P2/OlaHsd |
Chromosome | 17 |
Molecular Note | A targeting vector was constructed with an M10.2-GFP-ACNF (ACE-cre/neo-loxP) cassette inserted before the stop codon of the BAC M10.2. The ACNF, a self excising neo cassete, was removed during transmission through the male germline, leaving a single loxP site. |

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.
