Optimal N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) doses for inbred mouse strains.
ENU is a powerful germline mutagen in the mouse, providing the opportunity to analyze the functions of large numbers of genes in the mammalian genome. In many mutagenesis experiments, it would be beneficial to exploit the advantages of inbred mouse strains. To perform an effective ENU mutagenesis screen using inbred mice, a dosage regimen is required to determine the optimal dose of ENU for that inbred strain, a time-consuming preliminary process. We have carried out dosage regimens for mutagenizing doses of ENU in ten inbred strains of mouse: 129X1/SvJ, 129S6/SvEv, A/J, BALB/cJ, BTBR/N, C3He/J, C3HeB/FeJ, C57BL/6J, C57BR/cdJ, and CBA/CaJ, and determined an optimal dose for each strain, defined by length of sterile period and number of males to survive treatment. Three strains: A/J, BALB/cJ and C57BL/6J, are able to tolerate high doses, up to 300 mg/kg body weight, and are highly recommended for mutagenesis studies.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
