Allele Symbol: Dysftm1Kcam Name: dysferlin / targeted mutation 1, Kevin P Campbell Alteration at locus: Knockout |
Genetic Alterations:
The targeting vector was constructed to delete the last three coding exons including the exons coding
for the transmembrane domain of the dysferlin gene.
Genotype Determination:
ES Cell Line: R1
Phenotype:
Homozygous phenotype: Dysferlin-null mice are viable and have a normal growth rate, but develop a progressive muscular
dystrophy.
Heterozyous phenotype: Heterzygotes do not show any known morphological abnormalities.
Strain Type:
Founder genetic background: 129xC57BL/6
Strain genetic background: C57BL/6
Strain Development:
Donor: Kevin P. Campbell, Ph.D., University of Iowa

Bansal D, Miyake K, Vogel SS, Groh S, Chen CC, Williamson R, McNeil PL, Campbell KP. Defective membrane repair in dysferlin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Nature. 2003 May 8;423(6936):168-72. (Medline PMID: 12736685)
Sometimes teeth need to be clipped due to malocclusion of teeth. May need to gruel pups up to 2 weeks after weaning or as needed.
Mice recovered from a cryo-archive will have health surveillance performed on the
resuscitated animals.
Limited quantities of breeder mice (recovered litter) are available from a cryoarchive; recovered litter usually available to ship in 3 to 4 months.
* 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.

| MMRRC Item # | Description | Distribution Fee/unit (US $) |
Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| 010317-MU/H-RESUS | Resuscitation from cryopreserved material | $1,906.00 | litter a |
| 010317-MU/H-SPERM | Cryopreserved spermatozoa | $412.00 | aliquot b |
a 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 breedable 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 repository 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 repository.
b An aliquot contains sufficient material (volume and concentration) for at least two IVF or several artificial inseminations (based on our procedures). The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.
