Strain Information

Clec4dtm1.1Cfg
Name: C-type lectin domain family 4, member d; targeted mutation 1.1, Consortium for Functional Glycomics
Synonyms: Clec4dtm1Psob, MCA, MCL-
Type: Allele
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: 6
Alteration at locus: Knockout
Clec4d
Name: C-type lectin domain family 4, member d
Synonyms: mMCL, Mpcl, Clecsf8, mcl
Type: Gene
Species: Mouse
Chromosome: 6
Alteration at locus: Knockout
NCBI: 17474
Homologene: 7844
Genetic Alterations
The Clec4d gene consists of 6 exons. A loxP-flanked selection vector containing neomycin and thymidine kinase was used in the construction of this mutant. The positive and negative selection vector was inserted upstream of exon 2 of the targeted gene and a third loxP site was inserted downstream of exon 4 via homologous recombination. The targeting construct was electroporated into Bruce4 embryonic stem (ES) cells, which were then transiently transfected with a Cre-recombinase vector to remove the selection cassette and exons 2 through 4.

Genotype Determination
ES Cell Line
Bruce4 derived from B6.PL-Thy1a/CyJ
Mammalian Phenotype Terms
Allelic Composition: Clec4dtm1.1Cfg/Clec4dtm1.1Cfg (Genetic Background: involves: C57BL/6 )

Strain Development
Correctly targeted Bruce4 ES cells containing the Delta allele were injected into B6(Cg)-Tyrc-2J/J blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6 mice.

Mice are archived at the backcross generation N3, sib-mated generation F12. Recovery will be performed using C57BL/6J donors unless otherwise requested.
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 mmrrc@ucdavis.edu. Older strains may not have this information.

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@ucdavis.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.

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.
