Overview

Nomenclature: B6.129S4-Fcgr2btm1TtK N12

 

  • The mice are 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 H2b haplotype
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 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 C57BL/6. The mice were derived by embryo transfer and are maintained by incrossing 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.
