Strain Information

Stat5atm2Mam
Name: signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A; targeted mutation 2, Lothar Hennighausen
Synonyms: Stat5a/Stat5btm2Mam, Stat5fl
Type: Allele
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome:
Alteration at locus: Targeted Mutation
Stat5a
Name: signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A
Synonyms: STAT5
Type: Gene
Species: Mouse
Chromosome: 11
Alteration at locus: Targeted Mutation
NCBI: 20850
Homologene: 20680
ES Cell Line
TC1/TC-1 derived from 129S6/SvEvTac
Phenotype
Homozygous: Mice homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable and fertile and exhibit no overt phenotypic abnormalities. When used in conjunction with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is useful in generating tissue-specific conditional mutants of the floxed gene. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in generating conditional mutations to study cell proliferation, differentiation and survival in in any given cell type.

Heterozygous:
Not evaluated.

Strain Development
A targeting vector was designed to place Stat5a and Stat5b in a head to toe orientation with no genes between them. A loxP flanked neomycin resistance gene was inserted downstream of Stat5b and a loxP flanked hygromycin resistance gene was inserted downstream of Stat5a. The construct was electroporated into 129S6/SvEvTac derived TC-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6J mice for more than 10 generations. Correctly genotyped pups from each generation were selected using marker assisted genome scan analysis (speed congenic). Upon arrival, mice were bred to C57BL/6J for at least 1 generation to establish the colony.

MMRRC Genetic QC Summary
The MMRRC Centers have developed a genetic QC pipeline using MiniMUGA array genotyping to provide additional information on strain backgrounds for MMRRC congenic and inbred strains. For more information on when data may be available, or to request genotyping for a strain of interest, please contact csmmrrc@jax.org. Older strains may not have this information.

Colony and Husbandry Information

While maintaining a live colony, these mice are bred as homozygotes.

Cryo-recovered strains distributed by the MMRRC at JAX are shipped to the customer from the Pathogen & Opportunistic-Free Animal Room G200 - see https://www.jax.org/jax-mice-and-services/customer-support/customer-service/animal-health/health-status-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 csmmrrc@jax.org.

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 csmmrrc@jax.org 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.

Units Notes
032053-JAX-RESUS Litter recovered from cryo-archive $2,022.00 / Non-Profit Litter Recovered litter4; additional fees for any special requests.
Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to csmmrrc@jax.org for more information.

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.
