Overview

Also Known As:hHGFki;scid

Of note, hHGFki;scid mice also harboring the Il2Rγc^null mutation on the NOD-congenic background are available: NSG-hHGFki (Stock No. 014553).

These hHGFki;scid mice harbor the "humanized" knock-in mutation (hHGFki) that replaces the mouse hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) coding factor, and the Prkdc^scid mutation that results in T- and B-cell deficiency. These mice may be useful in studying the HGF/MET pathway in human tumor xenografts and mouse tumor allografts.

Important Note

Of note, hHGFki;scid mice also harboring the Il2Rγc^null mutation on the NOD-congenic background are available: NSG-hHGFki (Stock No. 014553).

Detailed Description

Mice homozygous for both the hHGFki and Prkdc^scid alleles, also called immunocompromised hHGFki mice, are viable and fertile.

The hHGFki allele is a "humanized" knock-in mutation that replaces the mouse hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) coding region downstream of the signal sequence with the human HGF cDNA sequence. As a result, the endogenous mouse promoter drives expression of human HGF. While the human HGF activates both the human and murine form of its tyrosine kinase receptor (met proto-oncogene (MET; c-Met)), the murine HGF is unable to activate human MET. Mice homozygous for hHGFki express only the human form of HGF. In homozygous hHGFki mice, HGF expression from the knock-in allele is observed in developing embryo, as well as adult liver, kidney and lung. hHGFki homozygous mice exhibit an increase in serum HGF after clotting.

Mice homozygous for the Prkdc^scid mutation exhibit T- and B-cell deficiency.

Development

A targeting vector was designed to replace exons 3-6 of the mouse hepatocyte growth factor (Hgf) locus with a cDNA sequence encoding exons 2-18 of the human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a polyA signal, and a frt-flanked PGK-neo cassette. The construct was electroporated into 129S6/SvEvTac-derived JB26A10 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Next, ES cells were transiently transfected with a FLPe expressing plasmid to remove the frt-flanked PGK-neo cassette. Correctly targeted ES cells were then injected into recipient blastocysts and chimeric mice were bred with C57BL/6 mice to establish the hHGFki colony. The hHGFki mice were then bred with C3H^scid (C3SnSmn.CB17-Prkdc^scid/J ; see Stock No. 001131) to generate the hHGFki;scid double mutant mice. Mice homozygous for both alleles were bred together for many generations prior to sending to The Jackson Laboratory Repository. Upon arrival, mice were bred together and/or with C3SnSmn.CB17-Prkdc^scid/J ; see Stock No. 001131) for at least one generation to establish the colony. After this, mice homozygous for both alleles were bred together to maintain the colony.

Breeding Considerations

When maintaining a live colony, mice homozygous for the hHGFki allele and homozygous for the Prkdc^scid allele may be bred together. There are no special husbandry requirements other than those necessary for immunocompromised Prkdc^scid mice.

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.
