HLA-A11 (C57BL/6)

Genetic Background:

C57BL/6

Origin:

The HLA-A11 model was generated by Pharmexa-Epimmune. The model was created by microinjecting a chimeric transgene combining a fragment of the cDNA clone of the human HLA-A*1101 gene that included leader sequence, α1 and α2 domains ligated to a fragment of the murine H2-K^b gene containing the α3, transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. This transgene was microinjected into CxB6 zygotes. The resultant mice from Founder Line A11.01 were backcrossed six generations to C57BL/6J. Taconic received stock from Pharmexa-Epimmune in 2008. The line was embryo transfer derived, backcrossed to C57BL/6NTac for a total of 11 generationsand then intracrossed to homozygosity. In the production colony, wild type C57BL/6NTac animals are bred to homozygous males to produce hemizygous pups on the C57BL/6NTac background. In addition, another production colony is breeding BALB/cAnNTac females with homozygous males on the C57BL/6NTac background to produce hemizygous CB6F1 pups, which are sold under model #9660.
