Overview

Also Known As:NSG CSF1, NSG-CSF1

NSG CSF1 mice express human CSF1 [colony stimulating factor 1 (macrophage)] on the immunodeficient NSG background. In humanized NSG CSF1 mice, the human CSF1 protein improves the function of human macrophages and monocytes.

Detailed Description

NSG CSF1 mice express human CSF1 [colony stimulating factor 1 (macrophage)] on the immunodeficient NSG (Stock No. 05557) background. NSG mice carry the Prkdc^scid and Il2rg^tm1Wjl alleles on the NOD/LtShiJ background; they should have no mature T cells or B cells, lack functional natural killer (NK) cells, have reduced numbers of lymphocytes and myeloid dendritic cells, and be deficient in cytokine signaling. CSF1 encodes a cytokine involved in the regulation of macrophages. The NSG CSF1 strain is used to make "humanized mice", which are created by injecting human immune cells. The CSF1 protein improves the function of human macrophages and monocytes that develop in the humanized mouse. In turn, the macrophages and monocytes assist other immune cells such as Natural Killer cells.

Development

A transgenic construct containing the human colony stimulating factor 1 (macrophage), CSF1, gene from the 157 Kb BAC clone RP11-19F3 was microinjected into the pronuclei of fertilized NOD.CB17-Prkdc^scid/J eggs. Founder line 3 was established and mated to NOD.Cg-Prkdc^scid Il2rg^tm1Wjl/J (Stock No. 005557) mice. Progeny were interbred until all offspring were homozygous for scid, hemizygous/homozygous for the Il2rg targeted mutation and hemizygous for the transgene.

Expression Data

Expressed Gene	CSF1, colony stimulating factor 1, human

Breeding Considerations

When maintaining a live colony, these mice are bred as Hom (scid) Hom (Il2rg) Noncarrier (no CSF1 transgene) x Hom (scid) Hemi (Il2rg) Hemi (CSF1 transgene) or reciprocal. Il2rg is located on the X chromosome. Males homozygous for the transgene do not produce viable sperm.

This strain should be housed under pathogen free conditions similar to the Prkdc^scid/Prkdc^scid mouse or any other immunodeficient strain.

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.
