Serpina3nfl/fl floxed mice possess loxP sites flanking exon 2 of the serine (or cysteine) peptidase inhibitor, clade A, member 3N (Serpina3n) gene. SerpinA3n is a serine protease inhibitor, expressed in peripheral sensory neurons, that can reduce neuropathic pain hypersensitivity. Mice that are homozygous for this allele are viable and fertile. When bred to mice that express tissue-specific Cre recombinase, resulting offspring will have exon 2 deleted in the cre-expressing tissues. Serpina3n-/- mice exhibit increased neuropathic mechanical allodynia after nerve injury.
A targeting vector was designed to insert a loxP site upstream of exon 2, and a frt-flanked neomycin resistance (neo) cassette followed by a second loxP site downstream of exon 2 of the serine (or cysteine) peptidase inhibitor, clade A, member 3N (Serpina3n) gene. The construct was electroporated into 129S6/SvEvTac-derived W4 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts and resulting chimeric males were bred with B6.129S4-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(FLP1)Dym/RainJ transgenic mice (Stock No. 009086) to delete the neo cassette. Serpina3nfl/fl mice were maintained on a mixed B6;129 background. Upon arrival, mice were bred to C57BL/6J inbred mice (Stock No. 000664) for at least one generation to establish the colony.

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.
