Overview

Nomenclature: FVB.129P2-Abcb1atm1BorAbcb1btm1Bor N12

  • Carries a disruption of multi-drug resistance genes Abcb1a (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family B (MDR/TAP), member 1A, a.k.a. Mdr1a) and Abcb1b (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family B (MDR/TAP), member 1B, a.k.a Mdr1b) encoding p-glycoprotein 3 and p-glycoprotein 1, respectively
  • Mdr1a protein is normally expressed actively in the intestine and at the blood-brain and blood-testis barriers
  • Mdr1b protein is normally highly expressed in the adrenal gland, pregnant uterus and ovaries
  • These p-glycoproteins actively extrude a wide range of drugs from cells and can confer multi-drug resistance to tumor cells
  • Lack the protective function of p-glycoproteins and exhibits a functional deficiency in the blood-brain barrier
  • Useful in a wide range of central nervous system research including neurotoxicology, drug transport, oral bioavailability and multi-drug resistance studies
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 Mdr1a/b mouse was developed in the laboratory of Alfred Schinkel of the Netherlands Cancer Institute. The model was created through sequential targeting of the Abcb1a and Abcb1b genes in E14 ES cells. Resultant chimeras were backcrossed to FVB/N for seven (N7) generations. Taconic received stock in August 1997. The mice were then backcrossed five more generations (N12) to FVB/N. The colony is maintained by mating doubly homozygous mice.

1487 males are packed as cagemates, without recombination of animals from different cages into a single Taconic Transit Cage (TTC). We recommend that customers do NOT recombine 1487 males from different Taconic Transit Cages into the same cage at or after unpacking. 

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.
