Genetic Alterations
A cassette containing IRES-cre and an FRT-flanked neo cassette was inserted into exon 5 of the endogenous gene. Expression of functional cre recombinase was detected in both male and female gonads and in the Mullerian duct. Based on phenotypic similarity to previously described Amhr2 deficient mice, this allele is putatively null.

    Strain Development

    Backcrossed to C57BL/6J.

    A sample from this MMRRC strain was analyzed using the Mouse Universal Genotyping Array (MUGA) and MMRRC computational tools were used to assess the genetic background. A summary of the data can be found here.

    MMRRC Genetic QC Summary
    Genetic QC analysis (GQC) was performed on representative samples from the donor submission and provides a baseline reference. Regardless of the material ordered (live mice, sperm, embryos, resuscitated animals), the provided material is guaranteed to contain the primary genetic alteration of interest; however, the composition of the genetic background may vary (See Reproducibility sections of the report for details). The impact of genetic background on previously reported phenotypes has not been evaluated.

    GQC analysis was done on two XX samples (HT0195 and ZX0193) at the time of importation and the conclusions are consistent in all samples.. The results of the analysis are congruent with the SDS and ZX0193 is the representative sample selected for the report. The primary (host) background is C57BL/6J. The secondary (donor) background is consistent with the 129S strain group. A 129S7SvEv reference is not available in miniMUGA and is the donor ES cell background indicated in the SDS. The mitochondrial genome is consistent with at least one backcross to a female from the host background. The background of the Y chromosome was not assessed because both samples genotyped were XX. The region containing the allele of interest has the expected donor background (129S). Both sample(s) are heterozyous for the donor background at the locus. The following constructs are detected in both samples: Cre, IRES.

    The genome of the MMRRC: 14245 mice strain is 99.7 % inbred and 100% congenic at the strain level. 0.3% of the genome is segregating for the secondary (donor) background.

    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 mmrrc@med.unc.edu 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.

    Litter Recovered litter4; additional fees for any special requests.

    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.
