    B6;129S7-Il1btm1Lvp
  • Carries a deletion of the interleukin 1β gene
  • Homozygous mice show an impaired acute phase inflammatory response and a reduced fever response to local inflammatory agents
  • Useful to examine the role of interleukin in inflammatory responses and for studies on arthritis

Allele Type:

KO

Origin:

The IL-1β knockout was developed by Zheng et al. in the laboratory of Lex Van der Ploeg at Merck Research Laboratories. AB 2.1 (129S7/SvEvBrd) embryonic stem cells, gene targeted by positive-negative selection, were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. The resultant chimeras were backcrossed for three generations to the MHC congenic B10.RIII-H2r to transfer the H2r haplotype to the targeted mutant. The IL-1ß heterozygotes were intercrossed to achieve homozygosity. This model was distributed as Taconic line 612, which is no longer available. The line was subsequently backcrossed by a third party to C57BL/6J and the H2r haplotype was removed. This current version of the model was imported to Taconic in 2018 and is congenic on C57BL/6J (NE7) with some residual genomic DNA from the 129 ES cells according to SNP testing.

GEM Collection models exist as cryopreserved materials. Models can typically be recovered and delivered to customers within 14-16 weeks after order receipt. Customers will receive:

  • A minimum of four (4) mice mutant for the selected mutation. In rare cases where the cryopreserved material also contains a recombinase gene, this may be reduced to 1-2 mutant mice.
  • Validated genotyping protocols
  • Animal health report. Mice will meet Taconic's Murine Pathogen Free™ (MPF™) health standard.

Please note that in rare instances (2%) cryorecovery may prove to be difficult, either extending timeline or ultimately successful recovery.
Customers may purchase this model by signing the appropriate Terms of Sale (below) and providing a PO. The GEM Collection Commercial and Academic Terms of Sale grant perpetual use rights.
