Name: transgene insertion 760, Sarah Elsea
Synonyms: Tg(RP23-326M22)1She, Rai1 BAC transgene, Rai1 transgene, TgRai1

Alteration at locus: Transgenic (BAC)
Genetic Alterations
randomly inserted BAC transgenic, 2 copies inserted
Genotype Determination
Phenotype
Homozygous: Highly anxious/hyperkinetic to the extent they are difficult to evaluate; delayed growth >females than males; neurological deficits. Further, analyses of homozygous transgenic mice revealed a dosage-dependent exacerbation of the phenotype, including extreme growth retardation, severe neurological deficits, and increased hyperactivity. Rai1 dosage has major consequences on molecular processes involved in growth, development, and neurological and behavioral functions

Hemizygous: Growth retardation, increased locomotor activity, and abnormal anxiety- related behavior compared to wild type littermates; altered gait with short strides and long sways, impaired ability on a cage-top hang test, decreased forelimb grip strength, and a dominant social behavior.

Strain Development
BAC (RP23-326M22) transgenic mouse created at U of Michigan transgenic core. After using a modified Qiagen DNA isolation protocol for low-copy plasmids (Qiagen Inc, Valencia, CA), 0.5-1 ng/μl of purified, Not1-linearized BAC DNA was microinjected into the fertilized mouse eggs from two separate crosses: (C57BL/6J x SJL) F1 and (C57BL/6J x SJL) F1 or C57BL/6J x (C57BL/6J x SJL) F1, and eggs were transferred to recipient mothers. Three weeks following the microinjection, founder pups were born, genotyped, and later bred to C57BL/6J females. Two male founders, mice 760 and 775, showed single, intact BAC site insertion into the genome and germ line transmission of the BAC transgene. Transgenic lines were established and maintained by backcrossing to C57BL/6J mice for more than 8 generations (>99% C57BL/6J background). The BAC-transgenic mice are named according to the International Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclature for Mice.

Rai1 transgenic male founders were bred with C57BL/6J female mice obtained from the JAX

Colony and Husbandry Information

Donor always used a high fat breeder's diet, no special housing utilized.

Colony Surveillance Program and Current Health 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 mmrrc@missouri.edu.

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@missouri.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.

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.
