Exon 4 of these targeted mutant mice is flanked by loxP sites. When crossed with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is useful in eliminating tissue-specific expression of the gene. When crossed to either a CD4-cre or Lck-cre mouse strain, the numbers of CD8+ mature thymocytes and CD8+ T cells in spleen or lymph nodes are reduced and show defective responses to antigen receptor stimulation.

Exon 4 of these targeted mutant mice is flanked by loxP sites. Mice that are homozygous for this floxed allele are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. When crossed with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is useful in eliminating tissue-specific expression of the gene.
When crossed to either a CD4-cre or Lck-cre mouse strain, the numbers of CD8+ mature thymocytes and CD8+ T cells in spleen or lymph nodes are reduced and show defective responses to antigen receptor stimulation. CD8+ T cells express CD4 and the ectopic CD4 expression is enhanced when the floxed region is excised.
A loxP-flanked neomycin cassette was placed in intron 3, and an additional loxP site was introduced to intron 4 of the targeted gene. Transient infection with Cre excised the neomycin cassette, leaving exon 4 flanked by loxP sites. This mutation was created in 129P2/OlaHsd-derived E14 embryonic stem (ES) cells. This strain was backcrossed ten times to C57BL/6 (see SNP note below) by the donating laboratory.
A 32 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 27 markers covering all 19 chromosomes and the X chromosome, as well as 5 markers that distinguish between the C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N substrains, was performed on the rederived living colony at The Jackson Laboratory Repository. While the 27 markers throughout the genome suggested a C57BL/6 genetic background, 3 of 5 markers that determine C57BL/6J from C57BL/6N were found to be segregating. These data suggest the mice sent to The Jackson Laboratory Repository were on a mixed C57BL/6J ; C57BL/6N genetic background.

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.
