NOD-PerH transgenic mice express Ighm (IgM) and Ighd (IgD) heavy chain genes of islet-derived peripherin-specific B cell hybridoma H280. They have accelerated T1D onset with increased insulitis. These mice may be useful when studying the effect of neuronal autoimmunity on T1D development.
Dr. David Serreze, The Jackson Laboratory
NOD-PerH mice express Ighm (IgM) and Ighd (IgD) heavy chain genes of islet-derived peripherin-specific B cell hybridoma H280. Approximately 50% of pancreatic islet associated B lymphocytes in NOD mice recognize the autoantigen peripherin.
Peripherin is expressed widely in neuronal cell bodies and axons of the peripheral and central nervous system. Expression of peripherin also occurs in the peri-insular areas of postnatal NOD mice. The H280 clone was chosen since it was isolated from the islets of a
recent T1D onset NOD mouse, exhibited strong peripherin binding, and neither its heavy or light chain demonstrate any evidence of affinity maturation.
Hemizygous NOD-PerH mice exhibit greatly accelerated Type 1 diabetes (T1D) onset, at a frequency of between 90-95% by 20 weeks of age. While control NOD/ShiLtJ mice (Stock No. 001976) develop T1D at a frequency of between 80-90% by 30-40 weeks of age. Insulitis development is also accelerated in this strain compared to controls.
When NOD-PerH mice are crossed with NOD-PerL mice, expressing the peripherin-specific B cell hybridoma H280 Igk light chain (Stock No. 028931), resulting NOD-PerIg mice have further accelerated T1D development and insulitis compared to the separate transgenic lines.
The PerH transgenic construct, containing Ighm (IgM) and Ighd (IgD) heavy chain genes of islet-derived peripherin-specific B cell hybridoma H280, was injected into fertilized NOD/LtDvs oocytes by Dr. Dave Serreze (The Jackson Laboratory). This PerH transgene also contains a constant region compnent allowing expression of PerH as an IgM/D isotype of the IgHa allotype rather than an IgHb allotype naturally characterizing NOD mice. Progeny of the NOD-PerH transgenic founder 48 were backcrossed to NOD/ShiLtDvs for three generations. Male and female carriers were sent to The Jackson Laboratory Repository to establish a colony.
Currently there are no related genes or alleles for this strain.
When maintaining a live colony, hemizygous mice may be bred to wildtype mice from the colony or to NOD/ShiLtJ mice (Stock No. 001976) inbred mice. The donating investigator was unable to fix the transgene to homozygosity.

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.
