(C3H/HeJ x CAST/EiJ-Hps1^ep-7J/GrsrJ)F1

Stock number: 021491

Description

This mutation provides a model for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome and is part of an allelic series in the Hps1 gene.

Detailed description

Mice homozygous for the pale ear 7 Jackson mutation have diluted pigmentation that makes normally agouti-colored mice appear similar to brown agouti with pale ears and tail. Males and females are fertile although there may be an increase in the number of stillborn or pre-wean deaths.

Development

The pale ear 7 Jackson mutation arose spontaneously on the CAST/EiJ background and was maintained co-isogenic on that background until sperm from homozygous males was cryopreserved. Cryo-recovery is scheduled to use eggs from C3H/HeJ females.
