Targeted | Cd1d1 | CD1d1 antigen |
Sequence encoding the cytoplasmic tail that governs steady-state accumulation of CD1D1 (CD1d1 antigen) protein in endosome compartments was deleted in these targeted mutation mice. A neomycin gene was left in the 3' untranslated region of Cd1d1. Homozygotes show multiple and selective abnormalities in intracellular trafficking of CD1D and lipid antigen presentation, as well as natural killer T (NKT) cell development. On average, the mutant CD1-TD protein is expressed on the cell surface at 40% higher density than with wildtype protein in thymocytes, B cells and dendritic cells. Confocal microscopic analysis shows that the abundant intracellular stores of CD1D normally found in lysosome-associated membrane protein 1-positive (LAMP-1+) late endosomes and lysosomes is markedly depleted. A marked reduction in the number of Vα14 natural killer T (NKT) cells in the thymus and peripheral tissues including the spleen and liver was also noted. These mice may be helpful in studies of CD1D trafficking and antigen presentation pathways as well as the development of CD1D-restricted T cells.
A vector incorporating a deletion of the nucleotides encoding the SAYQDIR carboxy-terminus (cytoplasmic tail) segment of the targeted gene followed by a floxed neomycin resistance cassette was introduced to 129P2/OlaHsd-derived E14 embryonic stem (ES) cells. The donating investigator reported that this strain was backcrossed to C57BL/6 (Taconic) for 12 generations by the donating laboratory (see SNP note below).
A 32 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 27 markers covering all 19 chromosomes and the X chromosome, as well as 5 markers that distinguish between the C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N substrains, was performed on the rederived living colony at The Jackson Laboratory Repository (after breeding once to C57BL/6NJ). While the 27 markers throughout the genome suggested a C57BL/6 genetic background, all 5 markers that determine C57BL/6J from C57BL/6N were found to be segregating. These data suggest the donating investigator backcrossed the mice to the C57BL/6J inbred mice available from Taconic prior to sending to The Jackson Laboratory Repository.

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.
