Strain Information

Large1vls
Name: LARGE xylosyl- and glucuronyltransferase 1; veils
Synonyms: Largemyd-2J
Type: Allele
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: 8
Alteration at locus: Spontaneous Mutation
Large1
Name: LARGE xylosyl- and glucuronyltransferase 1
Synonyms: fg, BPFD#36, froggy, enr
Type: Gene
Species: Mouse
Chromosome: 8
Alteration at locus: Spontaneous Mutation
NCBI: 16795
HGNC: HGNC:6511
Homologene: 7810
Genetic Alterations
Deletion of exons 3 through 5, causing a frameshift after amino acid (aa) 35, leading to a premature stop codon following aa37
Genotype Determination
Phenotype
Mice homozygous for the veils (Largevls) allele appear runted with muscle wasting. By five months of age, mild to moderate multifocal areas of cardiomyocyte degeneration are observed in the myocardium of homozygotes. Homozygote mice exhibit extensive ocular abnormalities including: retinal dysplasia, a disorganized ganglion cell layer, thinning of the inner nuclear layer, a progressive diminution of photoreceptor cells with aging, as well as, defects in the inner limiting membrane and outer plexiform layer.

Strain Development
Mice with ambulatory problems were observed in our research colony as progeny of an intercross of F1 mice from an outcross between CAST and a C57BL/6J (B6) incipient congenic strain (N7) carrying the rd7 mutation (B6.77-2C2a-special-rd7/rd7). Backcrossed to B6 for 10 generations and intercrossed.
Suggested Control Mice
Wild-type littermates or C57BL/6J mice
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

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.

    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.

    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.
