  • Genetically similar to the C57BL/NTac strain except that it carries the Ptprca allele (protein-tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type c locus previously known as CD45.1, Ly5.1) and the Pep3b allele from the SJL/J strain
  • The unique lymphocyte cell surface antigen produced by Ptprca makes this strain useful for immunological adoptive transfer experiments and useful as a background for transgenic and knockout models used in adoptive transfer studies
  • Backcrossed to the C57BL/6NTac strain to NE8 as assessed by SNP testing.

Origin:

The B6.SJL Congenic model was developed by Boyse et al in 1975 by intercrossing C57BL/6Boy mice to SJL/J mice. Taconic received stock from the NIAID in 1995. The mice were derived by embryo transfer into the NIAID Transgenic Mouse Repository. The mice were backcrossed by Boyse to a C57BL/6Boy inbred background to select for SJL antigen type (now referred to as Ptprca or Ly5.1). Refreshed in 2007 from NIAID stock. Further backcrossed to the C57BL/6NTac background to NE8.

Taconic cannot routinely accept orders by weight for this model due to colony size. Please inquire for options if weight is critical for your experiment.

n= 50 per sex at MPF health standards from US colonies. Data collected 2012-13.
High and Low represent mean +/- 1 standard deviation.
Based on sample size the charts above represents ~65% of the population.
All growth curves represent animals housed in our barriers, at our standard density and fed NIH31-M diet. Variations at customer facilities will alter expected growth curves.
Growth charts are provided only as a guide, if a specific weight criteria is needed please order animals by weight.
