Strain Development
To remove the Neo cassette, targeted C57BL/6 ES cells were microinjected into Balb/c blastocysts. Resulting chimeras with a high percentage of black coat color were mated to wild type (WT) C57BL/6 mice to generate F1 heterozygous offspring. F1 heterozygotes were mated with FLP heterozygotes (Step 2), which were screened for Neo deletion and the FLP transgene. Neo deleted heterozygotes were mated with WT mice and screened for Neo deletion and FLP transgene deletion. Homozygous Neo deleted mice were then mated with Cre-ERT2 mice. Cre-ERT2 mice contain a gene encoding a fusion protein composed of Cre recombinase and a mutant form of the estrogen receptor that is selectively activated only in the presence of tamoxifen (TAM), but not estrogen. In combination with a flox-conditional allele of il2, the Cre-ERT2 line (hereafter referred to as Cre+) provides a system to efficiently delete the il2 gene both spatially and temporally in the mouse.
Suggested Control Mice
WT (C57BL/6; Jackson Lab #000664) and conventional IL-2(−/−) mice (Jackson Lab #002252)
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 mmrrc@missouri.edu. Older strains may not have this information.

Order Request Information

Limited quantities of breeder mice (up to 2 males and 2 females or 4 mice) per investigator per month are available from a live colony, usually available to ship in under 12 weeks. Larger quantities may be available, please contact the distributing center directly at mmrrc@missouri.edu for more details.

Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to mmrrc@missouri.edu for more information.

A Commercial License Agreement from the Donor is required for for-profit entities to use this strain. For more information, please contact CTL Contracts Officer.

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.

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.
