| Genetic information | B6.129-Sod1em1(SOD1)Emcf/H knock-in mice carry the human version of the Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase-1 gene (SOD1) gene with a missense alanine to valine mutation at codon 4 (A4V; allele designated Sod1em1(SOD1)Emcf, MGI:6856511). The humanized SOD1-A4V gene replaces the mouse Sod1 gene at the endogenous locus. The humanized region begins at the first codon in exon 1 of the SOD1 gene, and continues through to the end of the human SOD1 5’ UTR. Exons 4, 5 and the 5’ UTR of the humanized SOD1 gene have been floxed and duplicated to allow conditional expression of a second copy of exons 4 and 5. These mice were generated using endonuclease mediated homologous recombination. Wild-type Cas9 protein purchased from Sigma (now Merck). The Cas9 and guides were delivered as RNPs so no Cas9 or guide sequences were integrated into the genome. |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:Homozygous B6.129-Sod1 |
| Breeding history | CRISPR-mediated targeting to introduce the SOD1-A4V mutation into the human SOD1 gene was performed in C57BL/6J-Sod1tm1.1(SOD1)Emcf/H zygotes, which are already humanised at the SOD1 locus. Mosaic animals were crossed to C57BL/6J for one generation. Correctly targeted founder mice carrying the SOD1-A4V mutation (allele designated Sod1em1(SOD1)Emcf) were crossed to C57BL/6J for one subsequent generation and mice carrying the SOD1-A4V mutation were selected for archiving. Overall this strain is N6 on C57BL/6J. |
