Strain Information

Tg(Tcra/Tcrb)1Vbo
Name: transgene insertion 1, Harald von Boehmer
Synonyms: TS1, TCR-SFE, SFE TCR, TCR-HA, 6.5 TcR, HA TCR
Type: Allele
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: random insertion
Alteration at locus: Transgenic
Genetic Alterations
TS1 mice express rearranged T cell receptor α/β chains specific for the MHC Class II I-Ed restricted S1 determinant site from influenza virus A/PR/8/34 hemagglutinin (PR8 HA). The receptor is encoded by Tcrb-V8.2, Tcrb-J, Tcra-V4, and Tcra-J.This mouse strain may be useful for studies of immune regulation, B and T cell tolerance, autoimmunity, and arthritis.
ES Cell Line
NA
Phenotype
TS1 mice express rearranged Vα 4, Jα 2B4/Vβ 8.2, Vβ 2.1 T cell receptor chains specific for peptide 111-119 from influenza virus A/PR/8/34 hemagglutinin (PR8 HA). The Class II I-Ed restricted epitope found in PR8-HA is known as the S1 determinant, a T cell determinant recognized by BALB/c mice. Mice homozygous for the transgene are viable and fertile with no observable phenotype. When combined with Tg(H2-Ea-HA)HACIIAcja transgenic mice (MMRRC Stock No. 043832) expressing PR8 hemagglutinin (HA) neo-self antigen under the direction of the mouse MHC Class II Ea (H2-Ea) promoter, progeny develop spontaneous inflammatory arthritis with a female sex bias and a B cell requirement for disease development. Male mice exhibit decreased severity and a delay in disease onset as compared to female mice. When combined with Tg(SV40-HA*)HA28Ajca transgenic mice (MMRRC Stock No. 043825) expressing a truncated PR8 hemagglutinin (HA) neo-self antigen under the direction of the SV40 promoter, S1-specific T cells are not deleted, but undergo selection to become CD4+ Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. This mouse strain may be useful for studies of immune regulation, B and T cell tolerance, autoimmunity, and arthritis.
Strain Development
The transgenic construct contains rearranged Vα 4, Jα 2B4/Vβ 8.2, Vβ 2.1 T cell receptor gene segments under the control of the natural TCRα and TCRβ promoter/enhancer elements. The Class II I-Ed restricted T cell receptors were cloned from T cell hybridoma 14.3.d (derived from a T helper clone V2-15) and are specific for peptide 111-119 of influenza virus A/PR/8/34 hemagglutinin (HA). The linearized construct was microinjected into fertilized (C57BL/6 x DBA/2J)F2 oocytes. TS1 or TCR-HA mice were bred to BALB/cAnNCrl mice for at least 13 generations. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory MMRRC, sperm was cryopreserved. To establish our live colony, an aliquot of frozen sperm was used to fertilize BALB/CByJ oocytes.

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.

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.

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.
