Overview

Also Known As: NSG hprt-null

These mutant mice combine the immunological characteristics of the NOD/ShiLtJ background, the severe combined immune deficiency mutation (scid), IL2 receptor gamma chain deficiency and a hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (Hprt^b-m3) null allele. This mutant mouse strain may be useful for xenotransplantation and drug screening.

Details

Detailed Description

Mice that are homozygous/hemizygous for these alleles are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These mutant mice combine the following characteristics: NK cell deficiency (NOD/ShiLtJ background), T and B cell deficiency (Prkdc^scid), reduced numbers of lymphocytes and myeloid dendritic cells (Il2rg^tm1Wjl) and biochemically defective stromal cells (Hprt^bm-3). These mice can be used for transplantation of human primary cancers. During tumor growth, Hprt-defective murine fibroblast and stromal cells replace human stromal cells. In culture, the addition of HAT selection media eliminates murine fibroblasts and other stromal cells and facilitates the isolation of human cancer cells. These mice may be used to generate patient-specific low passage cell lines from primary cancers for use in chemosensitivity profiling and other applications.

Development

The Hprt^bm-3 allele, a spontaneous 36 kb deletion at the 3' end of exon 2, was selected from an HPRT deficient 129P2/OlaHsd-derived E14TG2a embryonic stem cell line (ES). The X-linked mutation was introgressed into C57BL/6 mice for at least 5 generations. A heterozygous female was crossed to a NOD.Cg-Prkdc^scid Il2rg^tm1Wjl/SzJ (Stock No. 005557) male; the backcross was continued for five generations. Correctly genotyped pups from each generation were selected using marker assisted genome scan analysis (speed congenic).

Allele Name	hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase B, mutation 3
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase B, mutation 3; Hprt^b-m3
Gene Symbol and Name	Hprt, hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase

Strain of Origin	129P2/OlaHsd
Chromosome	X
General Note	HPRT- embryonic stem cells were obtained by selecting for spontaneous mutation by incubation in medium containing 6-thioguanine. HPRT- males have no overt phenotype of abnormal behavior (J:15483). The mutation is due to a large deletion in the Hprt gene. In situ hybridization studies showed HPRT mRNA in high levels in most neurons, but not in glial cells, in normal mice. No HPRT mRNA was detected in the brains of male mice carrying this deletion (J:2058). Mutant mice have no HPRT detectable by Western blot analysis and no detectable HPRT enzyme activity in brain homogenates. They appear to have normal brain purine content, but de novo purine synthesis is accelerated four- to fivefold (J:11842). The Hprt^b-m3 mutation has been used in preimplantation studies to determine when the maternal and paternal alleles of Hprt are activated during early embryonic development (J:2389). Either administration of amphetamine (J:1847) or inhibition of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) activity (J:4123) stimulates locomotor and stereotypic behaviors in HPRT-deficient mice. However, the null mutant for both Hprt and Aprt does not show the characteristics of Lesch-Nyhan disease (J:35822). Cells from mice hemizygous or homozygous for this mutation are HPRT-deficient and resistant to the drug 6-thioguanine (6TG).
Molecular Note	The allele contains a ~55 kb deletion spanning the promoter and first 2 exons. Subsequent direct sequence comparison with wild type DNA defined the exact breakpoints of the deletion, which lies 415 bp after the 3' end of exon 2, and determined the deletion size to be 36 kb.

We will fulfill your order by providing at least two carriers for each strain ordered. The total number, sex, and genotypes provided will vary, although typically 8 or more animals are provided. Please check genotypes which will be recovered. While the genotypes of all animals produced will be communicated to you prior to scheduling shipment, the genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme and genotypes described in the strain description. Animals are typically ready to ship in 11-14 weeks. If a second recovery is required to produce the minimum number of animals, then delivery time would increase to approximately 25 weeks. If we fail to produce animals of the correct genotype, you will not be charged. We cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.
