Information from provider

ProviderFrederick Alt
Provider affiliationNational Cancer Institute
Genetic informationMutant mice deficient in Rag2 gene. Obtained by mutation of the Rag2 gene by homologous recombination (insertion of the PMC1neo gene into the unique exon of Rag2 gene, leading to the deletion of 286 amino acids).
Phenotypic informationHomozygous mutants are viable even if they are smaller in size than wild-type or heterozygous littermates. Homozygous animals do not produce mature B or T lymphocytes. Deletion of a large portion of the Rag2 gene produces a total inability to initiate V(D)J rearrangement, leading to a severe combined immune deficiency (SCID).

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*
  • Frozen sperm. 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).
