Genetic informationAire knock-out: a neomycin resistance cassette replaced a genomic fragment containing part of exon 6. This mutation mimics a common human mutation of a termination codon in exon 6. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that aberrant transcripts were expressed, and immunohistochemisty experiments on sections of thymus, liver and brain from homozygous mice confirmed that no detectable protein was produced from this allele. Rag1 knock-out: a 1356 bp genomic sequence of the Rag1 gene, encoding the nuclear localization signal and the zinc-finger motif, was replaced by a neomycin cassette. A mutant transcript expressed from this allele was detected by Northern blot in bone marrow-derived cell lines from homozygous mice.
Phenotypic informationLymphopenic Aire knock-out mice: no signs of autoreactivity due to lymphopenia.
Breeding historyAire knock-out mice were outcrossed to Rag1 knock-out mice in the same background for 8 generations. Breeding pairs are homozygous males and heterozygous females (homozygous Aire knock-out mice are reported to have a decreased fertility). Currently testing if homozygous Aire/Rag1 double knock-out mice are fertile.

Order

Availabilities

Requesting frozen sperm or embryos is generally advisable wherever possible, in order to minimise the shipment of live mice.

  • Frozen embryos. Delivered in 4 weeks (after paperwork in place). €1740*
  • Rederivation of mice from frozen stock, delivery time available upon request . €3880*

Due to the dynamic nature of our processes strain availability may change at short notice. The local repository manager will advise you in these circumstances.

* In addition users have to cover all the shipping costs (including the cost for returning dry-shippers, where applicable).
