Strain Information

Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(Tbx1/GFP)Bem
Name: gene trap ROSA 26, Philippe Soriano; targeted mutation 1, Bernice E Morrow
Synonyms: Tbx1-GFPflox
Type: Allele
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: 6
Alteration at locus: Conditional
Gt(ROSA)26Sor
Name: gene trap ROSA 26, Philippe Soriano
Synonyms: ROSA26, beta geo, Gtrgeo26, Gtrosa26, R26, Thumpd3as1
Type: Gene
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: 6
Alteration at locus: Conditional
NCBI: 14910
Genetic Alterations
The targeting construct inserted a splice acceptor, floxed neomycin resistance cassette with three poly adenylation sequences, and a fusion of Tbx1 with GFP into the locus. 
ES Cell Line
WW6 derived from STOCK 129/Sv and C57BL/6J and SJL
Phenotype

Homozygous: No observable phenotype in the absence of Cre recombinase.

Heterozygous: No observable phenotype in the absence of Cre recombinase.

Cre-excised Phenotype: Activation of both alleles of Tbx1-GFP using Tbx1-Cre/+ mice results in outflow tract and ventricular septal defects of the heart, as well as inner ear malformations. Activation of one allele of Tbx1-GFP using Foxg1-Cre or Pax2-Cre mice results in inner ear malformations and cranial/neural defects.

Strain Development
The lox-stop-lox-Tbx1-GFP targeting vector was electroporated into WW6 ES cells derived from mix of 129/Sv, C57BL/6J and SJL backgrounds. A single correctly targeted ES cell was injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts to generate chimeras. Chimeras were crossed to C57BL/6 mice to determine germ line transmission. F1 mutants were crossed to Swiss Webster (SW) mice to generate the colony. Offspring were subsequently crossed with SW mice for more than 10 generations, and then maintained as homozygotes. Upon arrival at the MMRRC, mice were bred to C57BL/6J inbred mice for at least one generation to establish the colony.

MMRRC Genetic QC Summary
The MMRRC Centers have developed a genetic QC pipeline using MiniMUGA array genotyping to provide additional information on strain backgrounds for MMRRC congenic and inbred strains. For more information on when data may be available, or to request genotyping for a strain of interest, please contact csmmrrc@jax.org. Older strains may not have this information.

Colony and Husbandry Information

Cryo-recovered strains distributed by the MMRRC at JAX are shipped to the customer from the Pathogen & Opportunistic-Free Animal Room G200 - see https://www.jax.org/jax-mice-and-services/customer-support/customer-service/animal-health/health-status-reports.

Mice recovered from a cryo-archive will have health surveillance performed on recipient females. Health reports will be provided prior to shipment. If you require additional health status information, please email csmmrrc@jax.org.

Order Request Information

Limited quantities of breeder mice (recovered litter) are available from a cryoarchive; recovered litter usually available to ship in 3 to 4 months.

Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to csmmrrc@jax.org for more information.

Distribution of this strain requires submission of the MMRRC Conditions of Use (COU). A link to the COU web form will be provided via email after an order has been placed; the form should be completed then or the email forwarded to your institutional official for completion.

The donor or their institution limits the distribution to non-profit institutions only.

Additional charges may apply for any special requests. Shipping costs are in addition to the basic distribution/resuscitation fees. Information on shipping costs and any additional charges will be provided by the supplying MMRRC facility.

1 The distribution fee covers the expense of rederiving mice from a live mouse; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.

2 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials or straws and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer into one to three recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.

3 An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.

4 The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.
