Overview
Nomenclature: C.Cg-Igh-Jtm1Dhu
- 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
- Have no detectable IgM or IgG in the sera
- A low level (about 1% of normal) of rearrangement of the light chain kappa gene family is detected in total bone marrow
- Cells of the B lineage are drastically altered both in developmental progression and in cell quantity
- Contain no mature (immunoglobulin-bearing) B-lymphocytes in the spleen, bone marrow, lymph nodes, peripheral blood or peritoneum
- T-lymphocyte development appears to proceed normally, based on surface phenotype and quantity of cells in the spleen; splenic lymphocytes are enriched for T cells due to the B cell deficit
- Provides a null background useful for gene replacement experimentation in normal immune response and autoimmune diseases
- Useful for studying non-B cell activity in pathogen-induced disease and mechanisms of antibody gene assembly and expression
- For use in syngeneic experiments, the Jh mouse is 96% congenic to the BALB/c background and may successfully engraft some cell lines of BALB/c origin
- Model 17758 is a similar model on the C57BL/6NTac background which may be used for syngeneic tumor experiments using cell lines derived from B6.
- 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.
See the Related Taconic Biosciences Insight:Origin
The Jh mouse was developed by Dennis Huszar et al. at GenPharm International. The model was created by targeting the Jh gene in AB01 embryonic stem cells derived from 129/SvEv mice and injecting the targeted cells into C57BL/6J blastocysts. Heterozygotes on a C57BL/6J background were intercrossed to generate homozygous targeted mutation mice. Yale University received stock from GenPharm in 1992. The mice were then backcrossed several generations to a C.B-Igh-1 b congenic background. The mice were then backcrossed two generations (N2) to a BALB/c inbred background and intercrossed to homozygosity. The colony is maintained through homozygous matings.

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.
