Overview

Nomenclature: C.129S4(B6)-Fcgr2btm1TtK/cAnNTac N12

  • Deficient in FcgRIIB protein, which is a low affinity immunoglobulin G receptor
  • The FcgRIIB protein inhibits the activation of disparate effector functions such as phagocytosis, antibody dependent cytotoxicity and release of inflammatory mediators and it is known to function as an inhibitory receptor on B cells and mast cells
  • This inhibitory pathway for activation of several immune effector responses is dysfunctional, resulting in the inability to regulate antibody levels in response to antigenic stimuli dependent on IgG immune complexes
  • Useful for studying the feedback inhibition pathways that regulate antibody production and in studies of allergic and autoimmune disorders
  • The mice are fertile and develop normally
  • These mice carry the H2d haplotype

Origin

The Fcgr2b mouse was developed in the laboratory of T. Takai of Okayama University in 1995. The model was created by targeting the Fcgr2b gene in J1 ES cells. Taconic received pregnant females from Okayama University in November 1996 for use by the laboratory of J.V. Ravetch. Heterozygotes on a hybrid 129 x C57BL/6 background were intercrossed to generate homozygous targeted mutation mice. The mice were then backcrossed twelve generations (N12) to BALB/cAnNTac. The mice were embryo transfer derived and were maintained by incrossing of homozygous mice.

This model is cryopreserved and available for recovery. Models can typically be recovered and delivered to customers within 12 weeks after order receipt. Purchase of this model includes perpetual use rights and a deliverable of four mutant animals at the Murine Pathogen Free™ health standard along with a genotyping protocol. For models which include a recombinase gene or multiple alleles, all alleles will be provided, but individual animals may not contain all mutant alleles.
