Strain Description

Phenotype:
Homozygous phenotype: There is no spontaneous phenotype; however, the following may be observed: - increased susceptibility of knockout mice to anti-glomerular basement membrane (glomerulonephritis) - deletion of DAF exacerbates autoimmune disease development in MRL/lpr mice - DAF knockout mice display exarcerbated disease progression in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model.

Heterozygous phenotype: no phenotype

Strain Type:

Founder genetic background: C57BL/6 x 129

Strain genetic background: BALB/cJ

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 form and provide it at the time your order is placed.

Pricing: *

* 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
030201-MU/H-Resus Resuscitation from cryopreserved material $1,850.00 litter a
030201-MU/H-Sperm Cryopreserved spermatozoa $400.00 aliquot b

Control Mice:

  • Wildtype littermates

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.
