Overview

Nomenclature: STOCK (SW and B6D2F1)

Wild type control stock for Tau (model #2508).
This model does NOT express human Tau.
Model is on a C57BL/6, DBA/2, SW mixed background.
Model was generated via a genetic refresh of model #2508. See Origin below for more information.
Pink eyed animals, associated with certain coat colors, and the Pde6b^rd1 retinal degeneration mutation can cause light sensitivity and/or blindness in some animals. This may impact the results of behavioral testing. Upon request, animals can be screened for eye color, coat color, and/or rd1 homozygosity for an additional fee.

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

This control stock was generated via a genetic refresh of model #2508. Homozygous 2508 females were mated to Swiss Webster males. Hemizygous males from this cross were mated to B6D2F1 females. Wild type offspring from this second cross were used to establish control model #18392, whereas hemizygous males and females were intracrossed to generate homozygous mice to re-establish model #2508.

Genetics

Species:Mouse
Strain Type:Outbred or Mixed
Coat Color:Various
Genetic Background:Mixed

Other Genetic Notes:

Wild type for Nnt mutation; carries Pde6b^rd1 mutation.

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.
