Genetic Alterations
ENU-induced G to T transversion at base pair 15,831,282 (v38) on chromosome 16, equivalent to base pair 193,417 in the GenBank genomic region NC_000082 encoding the Prkdc gene. The mutation corresponds to residue 11,142 in the NM_011159 mRNA sequence in exon 78 of 86 total exons. The mutation results in a glycine (G) to premature stop codon (*) substitution at amino acid 3707 in the DNA-PKCS protein. The effect of the mutation in the Prkdc mRNA and the encoded protein has not been determined.
Phenotype

Homozygous: Homozygous screamer mice lack T-dependent IgG responses to both aluminum hydroxide (alum)-emulsified ovalbumin (OVA) and recombinant Semliki Forest virus (rSFV)-β-galactosidase as well as a T-independent IgM response to NP-Ficoll. Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood determined that the screamer mice exhibit a strong deficiency in B cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells.

Heterozygous: Not examined.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms
Allelic Composition: Prkdcm2Btlr/Prkdcm2Btlr (Genetic Background: C57BL/6J-Prkdcm2Btlr )

Strain Development
Original mutant was a C57BL/6J G3 ENU-induced mutant; all subsequent crosses to maintain strain were on C57BL/6J background only.
Suggested Control Mice
Wild-type littermates or C57BL/6J mice
