These floxed mutant mice possess loxP sites flanking exon 3 of the Igf1r gene. This strain may be useful for generating conditional mutations for studies of mammary tumorigenesis, myelination and bone development.

These mice possess loxP sites on either side of exon 3 of the targeted gene. Mice that are homozygous for this allele are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. When these mutant mice are bred to mice that express Cre recombinase, resulting offspring will have exon 3 deleted in the cre-expressing tissue(s).
When crossed with a mouse overexpressing constitutively active Kras and expressing mammary gland specific Cre recombinase, this IGF1RLox mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of mammary tumorigenesis (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2009 Feb 17;106(7):2359-64).
When bred to a strain with Cre recombinase expression in the CNS, this mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of myelination (Genesis 2000 Feb;26(2):133-5).
When bred to a strain carrying Tg(BGLAP-cre)1Clem (Stock No. 019509), Cre recombinase expression in osteoblasts results in abnormal bone matrix mineralization (J Biol Chem 2002 Nov 15;277(46):44005-12).
When bred to a strain carrying Tg(Tek-cre)1Ywa (Stock No. 008863), Cre recombinase expression in endothelial cells results in impaired endothelial regeneration following arterial injury.
A targeting vector containing a loxP site flanked neo selection cassette was utilized in the construction of this mutant. This selection cassette was inserted downstream of exon 3 of the targeted gene, and another loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 3. This construct was electroporated into 129 derived embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were transiently transfected with a Cre expression plasmid for the purpose of removing the selectable marker cassette. ES cells that had successfully undergone Cre recombination and no longer retained the cassette but did retain the loxP-flanked exon 3 were injected into recipient blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to other mutant strains. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory the mice were crossed to C57BL/6J at least once to remove the other mutant allele and to establish the colony.

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.
