Genetic Alterations
AhCh(Dax1) was isolated from a mouse genomic DNA library, mapped and sequenced. The targeting vector contains 5.5kb of 5' and 3.1kb of 3' gene sequences. A single loxP site was inserted upstream of the splice acceptor signal of exon 2. The phosphoglycerate kinase(PGK) promotor-driven, floxed neomycon cassette was inserted downsteam of exon 2 and PGK promotor-driven thymidine kinase (TK) gene cassette was placed upstream of exon 1.

Strain Development
The strain was developed by insertion of a targeted mutation into ES cells which were then injected to make chimeras.Chimeras were backcrossed to 129Sv/J(now 129X1/J)to generate targeted founder animals in 1998. Deleted animals were created by mating CMVCre animals and are currently maintained as KOs w/o Cre. From 1998- 2001 the strain was intercrossed and backcrossed to 129S1SvIMJ. In 2005 the strain was submitted for speed congenics with Charles River and is now congenic on 129S1SvIMJ.

Colony and Husbandry Information

Backcross to 129S1/SvImJ.

Colony Surveillance Program and Current Health 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 mmrrc@missouri.edu.

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 mmrrc@missouri.edu 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.
