Overview

Also Known As: Rosa26-Cas9 knockin on B6J

These CRISPR/Cas9 knock-in mice constitutively express CRISPR associated protein 9 (cas9) endonuclease and EGFP in a widespread fashion under the direction of a CAG promoter. When used in combination with single guide RNAs, they allow editing of single or multiple mouse genes in vivo or ex vivo.

Detailed Description

These Rosa26-Cas9 knock-in mice have a CAG promoter directing the widespread expression cas9 and EGFP. EGFP fluorescence is widespread in brain, kidney, liver, spleen and heart tissue, and Cas9 protein is detected in whole brain. Analysis of multiple organs (including brain, kidney, liver, spleen, heart tissue) show that constitutive cas9 expression does not result in any detectable toxicity, morphological abnormalities, tumor formation, or up-regulation in DNA damage or apoptosis markers. Whereas gene editing via viral delivery of cas9 is burdened by packaging size limits, these Rosa26-Cas9 mice only require a specific single guide RNA (sgRNA) for generating single or multiple simultaneous mutations. Mice homozygous for the Rosa26-Cas9 knock-in allele on the STOCK and congenic C57BL/6J backgrounds are viable and fertile. Some mice have a white belly spot.

In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. This is the case for the strain above. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results become available.

The Rosa26-Cas9 knock-in mice are also available on a C57BL6/NJ background (Stock No. 026430), on a FVB/NJ congenic background (Stock No. 026558), on a congenic NOD/ShiLtJ background (Stock No. 026557), as well as a STOCK background (Stock No. 024858).

Development

To create the Rosa26-Cas9 knock-in allele, the Rosa26-LSL-Cas9 targeting vector was used. This vector was designed with (from 5' to 3') a 5' homology arm, a ubiquitously expressed CAG promoter, loxP-flanked 3xSV40 polyA stop cassette, a 3X-FLAG epitope tag, a mammalian codon-optimized cas9 gene (derived from Streptococcus pyogenes CRISPR associated protein 9 [SpCas9]) flanked by two nuclear localization signals, a P2A ribosomal skip cleavage peptide sequence, an enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) gene, a woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element, bovine growth hormone polyA, pPGK-Neo-pA positive selection cassette and a 3' homology arm. The construct was electroporated into 129-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6N blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were tested for germline transmission by crossing to C57BL/6N mice. The mice were then crossed to a beta-actin driven Cre recombinase strain on the FVB background (Stock No. 003376) to excise the floxed STOP cassette. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, the mice were crossed to C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) at least once to establish the colony. The mice were then backcrossed to C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) using a marker assisted protocol.

In 2018, a 48 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 43 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. All markers tested were C57BL/6J allele-type with a single exception - one marker on Chromosome 11 [~21 Mb] is segregating with 129 allele-type.

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.

Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice. Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation.

Payment Terms and Conditions

Terms are granted by individual review and stated on the customer invoice(s) and account statement. These transactions are payable in U.S. currency within the granted terms. Payment for services, products, shipping containers, and shipping costs that are rendered are expected within the payment terms indicated on the invoice or stated by contract. Invoices and account balances in arrears of stated terms may result in The Jackson Laboratory pursuing collection activities including but not limited to outside agencies and court filings.

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.
