Strain Information

Ubc
Name: ubiquitin C
Synonyms: 2700054O04Rik
Type: Gene
Species: Mouse
Chromosome: 5
NCBI: 22190
Homologene: 128418
Tg(UBC-scFv)16Nemz
Name: transgene insertion 16, David Nemazee
Type: Transgene
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: unknown
Genetic Alterations
The transgene drives ubiquitous expression of a superantigen reactive to mouse IgD of the 'a' allotype
Genotype Determination
Phenotype

Hemizygous: When bred to the IgHa allotype background, mice have a loss of many B cell populations, including all mature follicular B cells, and a subset of marginal zone B cells. Mice have a hyper IgM syndrome and reduced titers of IgG. No significant phenotypes are seen on an IgHb background.

Strain Development
Transgene was made directly on C57BL/6J background and bred to this strain for several generations. It was then maintained by a backcrossing scheme to B6.Cg-Igha Thy1a Gpi1a/J .

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.
