Detailed Description

Mice that are homozygous for this targeted allele are viable and fertile. No gene product (protein) is detected on the surface of platelets. Significant (50%) embryonic lethality attributed to fetal hemorrhaging and placental defects is observed. Until three weeks of age, additional pup loss may occur due to hemorrhaging in the skin and gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal tract bleeding is commonly observed in adults and is frequently associated with an enlarged spleen. Erythrocyte number, hemoglobin, hematocrits and thrombus formation are all reduced while bleeding time is prolonged. Varying degrees of liver and kidney necrosis are also observed. Although increased numbers of osteoclasts are observed (3.5 fold over that seen in heterozygotes) they appear to be dysfunctional, having a reduced ability to resorb whale dentin in vitro. Mice are osteosclerotic and hypocalcemic. Enhanced tumor angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor-induced blood vessel growth are observed. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies related to Glanzmann thrombasthenia.

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. This is the case for the strain above. 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.

Development

A targeting vector containing a neomycin resistance gene driven by the mouse phosphoglycerate kinase promoter was used to disrupt exons 1 and 2 of the targeted gene. The construct was transfected into 129S2/SvPas-derived D3 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were backcrossed to 129S4/AvJae for more than 7 generations by the donating laboratory.

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.
