Genotype Determination
ES Cell Line
W9.5/W95 derived from 129S1/Sv-Oca2+ Tyr+ Kitl+
Phenotype
Homozygous: Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile and normal in size. Mice exhibit vestibular dysfunction by 13 and 21 months of age as determined by elevated measurements of the vestibular evoked potential (VsEP). Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing at 21 months of age indicates hearing loss at the highest frequencies as determined by elevated or absent ABR thresholds. Histopathology at 21 months of age reveals no hair cell loss or obvious change in morphology. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of late onset hearing loss.

Heterozygous: Heterozygous mice do not have hearing loss, but exhibit the same vestibular malfunction at 21 months of age as the homozygous mice.

Strain Development
A targeting vector was designed to insert a loxP site between exons 6 and 7 and an IRESlacZ cassette followed by a loxP-flanked PGKneo cassette into exon 12. The construct was electroporated into 129S1/Sv-Oca1+ Tyr+ Kitl+ -derived W9.5 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to a mixed C57BL/6 and CD1 background. Offspring were crossed with mice from a unknown background expressing Cre under the control of a beta actin promoter to remove exons 7 through 11 (containing two VWA domains) as well as the neo and lacZ cassettes and part of exon 12. Mice were subsequently crossed to CBA/CaJ for 12 generations. Upon arrival, mice were bred to CBA/CaJ for at least 1 generation to establish the colony.

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

While maintaining a live colony, these mice are bred as homozygotes.

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.
