This NOD congenic strain contains Ptprc of C57BL/6J origin (CD45.2) and is reported to exhibit a high frequency of diabetes. As Ptprc is expressed on all adaptive and innate immune cells, this strain provides a unique cell surface marker that can be used to track lineage and phenotype of all hematopoietic donor derived or transferred cells making it useful in studies monitoring immune pathogenesis in the NOD model.

This NOD congenic strain, commonly referred to as NOD.Cd45.2, is viable and fertile. Mice of this strain contain a genomic segment from the diabetes resistant strain C57BL/6 introgressed into the NOD chromosome 1. The C57BL/6 genomic segment includes Ptprcb, commonly referred to as Cd45.2. Although reported to be significantly reduced compared to NOD, congenic female mice exhibit a high frequency of diabetes with about 60% of the females becoming diabetic by 200 days of age.
As Ptprc is expressed on all adaptive and innate immune cells, this strain provides a unique cell surface marker that can be used to track lineage and phenotype of all hematopoietic donor derived or transferred cells making it useful in studies monitoring immune pathogenesis in the NOD model.
This strain, commonly called NOD-CD45.2, was produced by mating mice from NOD/Jrc (Ptprca) to C57BL/6 (Ptprcb) followed by 10 additional marker assisted crosses to NOD/Jrc with selection for Ptprcb on chromosome 1. Five (5) additional crosses to NOD/MrkTac were completed to shorten the chromosome 1 congenic interval in the Ptprcb region. Recent SNP testing (direct data submission) indicates that the congenic interval is less that 0.84Mb, with markers rs32090581 (139.65Mb) and rs32478398 (140.41Mb) to be of C57BL/6 origin; while markers D1Mit537 (139.62) and rs30655958 (140.49Mb) are of NOD origin. In 2010, the Type 1 Diabetes Resource received this homozygous strain at N16F?

Molecular Note | Ptprcb is found in strains C57BL/6, C3H/An, DBA/2, AKR, and many others (J:13367, J:12054, J:12077, J:8603). Twelve nucleotide differences between the a and b alleles have been identified. These base substitutions correspond to five amino-acid changes within the extracellular domain of the encoded protein. These amino-acid differences are clustered in a region that also contains the greatest divergence between mouse and rat sequences (J:22485). Note that the allele designations originally described were reversed in 1987 (J:8603); all publications prior to 1987 show SJL/J, STS/A, and DA as having the b allele and the C57BL/6J group as having the a allele (J:22341). |
While maintaining a live colony, this strain is mated homozygote x homozygote.
A footpad injection of Complete Freund s Adjuvant (CFA) administered once at weaning will delay diabetes onset, thus extending the lifespan of breeders. Use of Complete Freund s Adjuvant in NOD mice can be found in Current Protocols in Immunology page 15.9.19, Reproduction.

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.
