Homozygous targeted mutant mice have thymocytes and splenocytes that, studied in vitro, are insensitive to pH-dependent cAMP production. Despite significant in vitro defects in the acidic pH-induced cAMP production, a preliminary examination of homozygous animals has not revealed any major abnormalities in the development of the immune system or in its major functions. A green fluorescent protein (GFP) insertion acts as a marker for cells that normally express the gene. This strain may be helpful in elucidating the role of this and other G protein-coupled receptors in the regulation of immune cell responses in acidic microenvironments.

Notice regarding distribution of this strain.

Use of MICE by companies or for-profit entities requires a no-fee JAX Leap License prior to shipping.
