The following phenotype information may relate to one or more alleles on a genetic background differing from this MMRRC strain.
T2Tg(H2K)1Art/T2+
involves: B10.M * BTNTTF/nev * CBA- limbs/digits/tail phenotype
T2Tg(H2K)1Art/T2Tg(H2K)1Art

- embryogenesis phenotype
- embryonic growth retardation (MGI Ref ID J:29666)
- growth/size phenotype

Strain genetic background: BAgNTTf [BTBRTF/art and this stands for black and tan (a), Brachy (original T deletion) and tufted (tf). This strain segregates for T and when no T is involved donor calls it BTNTTF.]
Strain Development: Obtained original mice from Larry Pease at Mayo Clinic in 1992 -- mice were missing hind limbs which later was determined to be behavioral by the females but the short-tail was interesting and resembled the classic Brachyury.
Suggested Control Mice:
- Wildtype littermates
Research Applications
- Developmental Biology
- Models for Human Disease

Special Considerations
Fed mouse chow with high lipid content for nursing mothers -- usually mothers are not removed from parental cage but raise one litter in same cage as all adults with males and litter survives and thrives.
Health Status Report
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 mmrrc_health@med.unc.edu.
Order Request Information
Availability Level:
Limited quantities of breeder mice (recovered litter) are available from a cryoarchive; recovered litter usually available to ship in 3 to 4 months.
Conditions of Distribution:
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.
Fees:
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 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.
2 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.
3 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer to at least two recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.
