Overview

Nomenclature: C57BL/6NTac-Igh-Jem1Tac

 

  • B cell deficient mice are useful for basic mechanistic studies of immunologic mechanisms as well as host mice in syngeneic tumor studies using immunogenic test articles.
  • Carries a deletion of the endogenous murine J segments of the Ig heavy chain locus.
  • In homozygotes, all four JH gene segments are absent, resulting in cells that cannot produce a complete, recombined version of the variable region of the heavy chain.
  • B cell development halts at the pro-B cell stage without pre-B cell or mature B cells in the bone marrow. There are significantly fewer B220+ cells in spleen, which are exclusively pro-B cells without IgD. See Phenotypic Data section below.
  • This model is expected to have normal T cell development based on published data from a similar model on the BALB/c background.
  • For use in syngeneic experiments, this model is on the C57BL/6NTac background and will successfully engraft cell lines of C57BL/6 origin.
  • Tumor growth kinetics may vary in immunodeficient mice compared to wild type mice of the same strain. A pilot study to evaluate tumor growth is best practice.
Orders by weight: Taconic cannot accept orders by weight for this model. Please note that shipments may contain animals with a larger weight variation.

Origin

The Jh (C57BL/6) mouse was developed by Taconic Biosciences. The model was created through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing to delete the entire Igh-J locus including all four transcripts. Targeting occurred in C57BL/6NTac embryos. The selected G1 founder was screened for off-target effects and the targeted locus was sequenced to confirm targeting specificity. Heterozygous animals were intercrossed to generate homozygous mice. The line is maintained by crossing homozygous mice.

Packing Practices

Taconic standard practice is to recombine animals of different home cages and/or ages from a single model and sex during packing, except in specific cases where Taconic's animal welfare policy prohibits recombination due to aggression or other concerns.  When an order is fulfilled with animals from more than one week of birth, this standard practice results in animals from a range of birth weeks packed together in a single TTC. When an order is fulfilled with animals from genotyped models, this standard practice results in animals from different home cages packed together in a single TTC.

Customers who wish to keep animals from different weeks of birth separated should place orders with the special instruction "Divide and label by age."  Note that this special request can result in increased costs for additional Taconic Transit Cages, dividers and/or freight charges.

Taconic discourages other types of custom packing requests as they can have a negative impact on animal welfare. Learn more.
