Phenotype

Strain Development
The mouse CDKL5 gene consists of 22 exons of which the fourth exon was targeted for creating a conditional knockout allele. The targeting construct was commercially synthesized that contained left and right homology arms of 7.3 and 6 kilobases respectively along with the upstream LoxP site in intron 3 and a Frt-Neo-Frt-LoxP cassette in intron 4. If a truncated protein is expressed from the upstream exons, it will produce only about 33 amino acid polypeptides, along with another 29 amino acids originating from frameshifted reading of exon 6. Upon Cre-mediated deletion of exon 4, the transcript will undergo nonsense-mediated decay due to a frameshift in the protein coding sequence of the downstream exons. The targeting construct was linearized and electroporated into C57BL6/N-derived ES cells (PMID:20582321); the positive clones were screened by long-range PCRs and confirmed by Southern blotting. The ES cell clones were injected into B6(Cg)-Tyrc-2J/J (JAX Strain #000058) strain-derived blastocysts, to generate chimeras, at the mouse genome engineering core facility, UNMC, which were mated to B6(Cg)-Tyrc-2J/J. The strain was FLP'ed with C57BL/6-Tg(CAG-Flpo)1Afst/Mmucd mice (MMRRC:32247) that were backcrossed to B6(Cg)-Tyrc-2J/J at U of Michigan. A genotyping PCR assay was developed for detecting the conditional knockout allele. The primer pairs were CDKL5 Flox F TGCTCTTGGAGTATGTTGATTGAC and CDKL5 Flox R ACTTGGAATCATAATACTGTATACCTTG. The expected amplicons sizes are 204 and 267 bp, for wild-type and conditional KO alleles, respectively.
Suggested Control 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.

The donor or their institution limits the distribution to non-profit institutions only.

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.
