Genotype Determination
ES Cell Line
D3 derived from 129S2/SvPas
Phenotype
Homozygous: Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable and normal in size. Although testes appear normal at 2.5 months, by 9 months homozygous males exhibit testicular atrophy and empty, degenerated seminiferous tubules, although no decrease in Leydig cells is observed. Submaxillary and parotid salivary glands develop abnormally large and swollen cell nuclei and binucleate cells. Large nuclei and binucleate cells also are observed in the exocrine portion of the pancreas. Body weights are normal until 12 to 15 months of age when many mice develop dramatic weight loss. Spontaneous tumors develop in 19% to 34% of mice between 8 and 18 months of age suggesting a function for E2f1 in tumor suppression. Tumor types include, in order of frequency, reproductive tract sarcomas, lung tumors, lymphomas and other tumor types at lower frequencies. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of cancer and cell cycle research.
Heterozygous: Normal phenotype, although several heterozygotes develop rare reproductive tract sarcomas and lung adenocarcinomas.

Strain Development
A targeting vector containing neomycin resistance gene in the antisense direction was used to replace a portion of exon 2 (cyclin A binding) and all of exon 3 (DNA binding). The construct was electroporated into 129S2/SvPas-derived D3 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were bred to crossed to C57BL/6J and offspring were maintained by sibling mating. Upon arrival, mice were bred to C57BL/6J for at least 1 generation to establish the colony.

Colony and Husbandry Information

While maintaining a live colony, these mice are bred as heterozygotes or homozygous female x heterozygous male. Homozygous males are infertile.

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.
