      assigned by genotype

Tlr6int/Tlr6int
        C57BL/6-Tlr6
  • immune system phenotype
  • abnormal adaptive immunity (MGI Ref ID J:110094)
    • abnormal cell-mediated immunity (MGI Ref ID J:110094)
      • abnormal macrophage physiology (MGI Ref ID J:110094)
        • peritoneal macrophages from homozygous mice fail to secrete type 1 interferon in response to peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid or MALP-2, all of which induce signaling via the TLR2/TLR6 heterodimeer
        • peritoneal macrophages from homozygous mice exhibit a partial type 1 interferon secretory response to PAM2CSK4 in a TLR2-dependent manner
        • immunoblot analysis of lysates of homozygous mutant peritoneal macrophages using antibodies to phosphorylated proteins demonstrates failure of these cells to phosphorylate/activate IkappaB, JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) or extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) in response to MALP-2, a diacyl peptide that induces signaling TLR2 or the TLR2/TLR6 heterodimer
  • abnormal innate immunity (MGI Ref ID J:110094)
    • abnormal macrophage physiology (MGI Ref ID J:110094)
      • peritoneal macrophages from homozygous mice fail to secrete type 1 interferon in response to peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid or MALP-2, all of which induce signaling via the TLR2/TLR6 heterodimeer
      • peritoneal macrophages from homozygous mice exhibit a partial type 1 interferon secretory response to PAM2CSK4 in a TLR2-dependent manner

Strain Type:

Founder genetic background: C57BL/6J

Strain genetic background: C57BL/6J

Strain Development:
Homozygous mutant was picked up by the screening, and backcrossed to its parents, after that homozygotes were kept by sib-mating.

Special Considerations

None

Health Status Report

Mice recovered from a cryo-archive will have health surveillance performed on the resuscitated animals.

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:

Please complete the MMRRC Conditions of Use (COU) and provide it at the time your order is placed. Note: The preceding link is to the COU text only; the COU user form will be provided after order submission.

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.

Control Mice:

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 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 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 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.

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.
