Overview

These mice have the Ple55-lacZ transgene targeted as a single copy "knockin" into the upstream region of the Hprt locus on the X chromosome. The promoter/regulatory regions of the human DCX gene direct expression of β-galactosidase.

Strain of Origin	(B6.129P2-Hprt^b-m3/J x 129S-Gt(ROSA)26Sor^tm1Sor/J)F1
Chromosome	X
General Note	Germ line transmission of mutant cell line mEMS3879 has been established.
Molecular Note	The Ple55-lacZ transgene (pEMS1526) was designed with the 3877 bp Ple55 minipromoter (DCX-D; derived from a portion of the promoter and an upstream putative regulatory element from the doublecortin (DCX) gene) upstream of a frt-flanked beta-galactosidase (lacZ) gene, an SV40 early polyA signal, and a human HPRT complementary sequence (containing exon1, intron1, exon2, and part of intron2). This construct was targeted as a single copy knockin to the Hprt^b-m3 mutant locus on the X chromosome.

Breeding Considerations

The donating investigator recommends maintaining this strain by breeding heterozygous females with wildtype mice from the colony or with 129S1/SvImJ inbred mice. Of note, the donating investigator reports that backcrossing these mutant mice to C57BL/6J inbred mice for more than three generations resulted in absence of hemizygous males from the (N4) litters.

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.
