Availability & Fees Order this Strain
Homozygous: Beginning at postnatal day 9, tremors, ataxia, seizures, loss of righting reflex. Complete postnatal lethality by postnatal day 16.
Heterozygous: On this solely 129S6/SvEvTac strain, heterozygotes have no overt phenotype. If mice of this 129S6/SvEvTac strain are crossed with C57BL/6, F1 heterozygotes exhibit spontaneous seizures and premature lethality, with 50% lethality by one month of age.
The Scn1atm1Kea targeted null allele was generated by homologous recombination in TL1 ES cells derived from 129S6/SvEvTac. Exon 1 of the mouse Scn1a gene was replaced by a neomycin resistance cassette. The resultant Scn1a+/− mouse line was then maintained on the 129S6/SvEvTac inbred strain by continuous breeding to 129S6/SvEvTac. For experiments: strain C57BL/6J (B6) was crossed to 129.Scn1a+/− to generate F1 offspring.
Limited quantities of breeder mice (up to 2 males and 2 females or 4 mice) per investigator per month are available from a live colony, usually available to ship in under 12 weeks. Larger quantities may be available, please contact the distributing center directly at csmmrrc@jax.org for more details.
Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to csmmrrc@jax.org for more information.
A Commercial License Agreement from the Donor is required for for-profit entities to use this strain. For more information, please contact Karen Rufus.
Distribution of this strain requires submission of the MMRRC Conditions of Use (COU). A link to the COU web form will be provided via email after an order has been placed; the form should be completed then or the email forwarded to your institutional official for completion.

Additional charges may apply for any special requests. Shipping costs are in addition to the basic distribution/resuscitation fees. Information on shipping costs and any additional charges will be provided by the supplying MMRRC facility.
1 The distribution fee covers the expense of rederiving mice from a live mouse; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.
2 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials or straws and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer into one to three recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.
3 An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.
4 The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.
