Genetic Alterations

The targeting vector constructed to generate this allele is available at Addgene. During the plasmid deposit process, Addgene sequenced the entire plasmid with an NGS technology. The T2A-sfGFP-iCre-ERT2-FRT-Neo*-FRT cassette was knocked in after the coding sequence and before the 3' untranslated region, replacing the endogenous stop codon. The neomycin selection cassette was removed.

ES Cell Line
G4 derived from (129S6/SvEvTac x C57BL/6Ncr)F1
Phenotype
None/Normal/Wild-type
Strain Development
A targeting vector constructed by recombineering from RPCI-24 C57BL/6J mouse genomic DNA library was electroporated into G4 ES cells derived from (129S6/SvEvTac x C57BL/6JNcr)F1. Recombinant clones were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts. Chimeras were bred to C57BL/6J females. Litters from germline transmitting chimeras were bred to C57BL/6J congenic Tg(Pgk1-FLPo)/+ mice to loop out the Neo cassette. After another generation of crossing to the C57BL/6J mice, Neo-negative mice were further backcrossed to the C57BL/6J mice for a total of 12 generations while fixing the X and Y chromosomes to C57BL/6J (by breeding males or females, etc). Additional information on the development of this strain is available in Figshare.

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.

Colony and Husbandry Information

Another Lrig1 creERT2 knock-in knock-out allele is available at The Jackson Laboratory (STOCK Lrig1tm1.1(cre/ERT2)Rjc/J, RRID:IMSR_JAX:018418). As noted in the corresponding strain information, homozygous females of that line do not lactate well and do not reliably wean newborn pups. The line described here, conversely, does not disrupt Lrig1 expression. The donor bred this line as homozygotes without any problems. The allele here might be useful when generating large numbers of experimental mice: it reduces the cost involved because genotyping isn't necessary for the experimental mice.

Colony Surveillance Program and Current Health 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 mmrrc@ucdavis.edu.

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.

A Commercial License Agreement from the Donor is required for for-profit entities to use this strain. For more information, please contact Eric Paulsen.

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.

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.
