Strain Information

Rpl11

Type: Gene

Chromosome: 4
NCBI: 67025
Homologene: 37376
Genetic Alterations

Rpl11flox/flox mice harbor a conditional knockout mutation where Rpl11 exon 2 is flanked by two loxP sites.

Genotype Determination
  • Genotyping Protocol(s)
  • Center protocol and contact for technical support will be shipped with mice.
  • ES Cell Line
    unspecified
    Phenotype
    Conditional RPL11-deletion mice allow researchers to investigate the invivo effects of impaired Rpl11 expression and its functional connection with Trp53. While deletion of one Rpl11 allele in germ cells results in embryonic lethality, deletion of one Rpl11 allele in adult mice does not affect viability but mice display acute anemia. Mechanistically, the RPL11 haplo insufficiency activates p53 in hematopoietic tissues and impedes erythroid precursor differentiation, resulting in insufficient red blood cell development.

    Strain Development
    RPL11 conditional knockout mice were constructed and generated by UNC Animal Core Facility. 129P2/Ola ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts, which produced mice with agouti (brown) fur from the ES cells on the black host background. Chimeric mice were mated to C57BL/6 female mice, and Agouti pups were used for PCR genotyping. RPL11flox/+ (F1) mice were further mated to unspecified Flpe mice and PCR screening was performed to detect animals with the Neo cassette removed. These animals were then backcrossed to C57BL/6 and pups screened for removal of the Flpe transgene. Resulting animals were crossed to C57BL/6 mice for at least an additional 12 generations.
    Suggested Control Mice
    C57BL/6

    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.
