Genetic Alterations
TALEN targeting was used to generate a knock-out allele, which consisted of a 171-bp deletion that included the ATG start codon.
Genotype Determination

Strain Description

Phenotype

Homozygous: Decreased TNF secretion from macrophages of mice stimulated with polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid ("poly(I:C)").

Hetero/Hemizygous: Not Characterized

  • tccgggagctgatgatcatcttcggcgggggcaacgagggcatcgcggacgagctgca (right).

The TALEN constructs recognizing these two targets were built using the TALEN toolbox (from Addgene, deposited by Feng Zhang MIT). TALEN mRNAs were in vitro transcribed using the Invitrogen mMESSAGE mMACHINE kit and used for microinjection. This strain has a 171-bp deletion, which encompasses the ATG start codon. The original mutant was generated on a C57BL/6J background; all subsequent crosses to maintain strain were on C57BL/6J background only.

MMRRC Genetic QC

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@missouri.edu. Older strains may not have this information.
