Genetic Alterations
Three allelic alterations:

  1. Rbpjtm1Hon: LoxP sites inserted to flank exon 6 and exon 7 of the Rbpj gene.
  2. Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(rtTA,EGFP)Nagy: A targeting vector containing a loxP-flanked stop sequence, reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator gene, internal ribosomal entry site, and green fluorescent protein gene inserted between exon 1 and exon 2 of the ROSA26 locus.
  3. Tg(tetO-Rbpj*)1Jczp: Randomly inserted hemagglutinin-tagged Rbpj transgene under the control of a tetracycline-responsive element.
ES Cell Line
  • Gt(ROSA)26Sor allele: R1 derived from (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl+
  • Rbpj allele: E14 derived from 129P2/OlaHsd
Phenotype

Depending on the type of Cre employed, this strain will lack endogenous expression of Rbpj in the specific tissue where Cre is expressed. Instead, it will allow for the doxycycline-dependent expression of an Rbpj transgene. Thus, this mouse strain will allow for the tissue- and temporal-specific regulation of Notch signaling responsiveness in cells.

Conditional phenotype: Conditional deletion of endogenous Rbpj and inducible expression of transgenic Rbpj.

Strain Development
Rbpj-HA transgenic mice were generated by microinjection of the transgene construct DNA into fertilized eggs obtained from the mating of superovulated C57BL/6J females with C57BL/6J males (JAX Strain #000664) at the University of Michigan Transgenic facility in Ann Arbor. Founders and the F1 progeny were screened by PCR for copy number of the transgene by comparing it to the transgene copy standards. Rbpj-HA mice were then bred to B6.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(rtTA,EGFP)Nagy/J (JAX Strain #005670), and then further bred to B6.129P2-Rbpjtm1Hon/HonRbrc (RIKEN RBRC01071).

The mice were also bred to B6.Cg-Commd10Tg(Vav1-icre)A2Kio/J (JAX Strain #008610), but this produced Cre expression in hematopoietic cells only, leaving the allele floxed in the material provided to the MMRRC.

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@missouri.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.
