Mavs mice

Manufactured by Jackson ImmunoResearch

The Mavs+/− mice are a genetically modified mouse model that has one of the two copies of the Mavs gene inactivated. The Mavs gene is involved in the innate immune response. This mouse model is used in research to study the role of the Mavs gene in various biological processes.

Genetic Knockout Mice for Immune Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Age- and sex-matched C57BL/6J obtained from Japan SLC, Inc. were used as WT controls. cGAS−/−, Stinggt/gt (C57BL/6J-Tmem173gt/J), and MAVS−/− mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory (026554, 017537, and 008634 respectively). All animal experiments were performed in accordance with the regulations of the University of Tokyo Committee for Animal Care and Use and were approved by the Animal Experiment Committee of the Institute of Medical Science, the University of Tokyo.

Profiling Nascent RNA in Mouse Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mavs+/− mice were acquired from Jackson Laboratory and crossed with Adar+/− and subsequently with Adarb1−/−, Gria2R/R (stock #008634, allele: Mavstm1Zjc). For Nascent-seq, mice of desired genotypes were sacrificed at p14, and nascent-RNA was isolated from brain tissue (Menet et al. 2012 (link)). After treatment with DNase I (Thermo Fisher Scientific), contaminating polyadenylated RNA was removed using the NEBNext poly(A) Isolation Module (New England Biolabs). Ribosomal RNA was removed using Ribo-Zero (Illumina). cDNA libraries were generated from 1 µg of nascent-RNA using NEBNext Ultra Directional RNA Library Prep kit for Illumina (New England Biolabs) and sequenced in paired-end mode with 125-bp read length on a HiSeq 2500 (Illumina).

Immune Signaling Pathways Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57BL/6 mice and 129 mice were obtained from Jackson and Taconic. Myd88−/−, Trif−/−, P2×7r−/−, and Mavs−/−mice were purchased from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories. Tlr4−/−mice were provided by Dr. Cathryn Nagler and Dr. Haochu Huang (University of Chicago), and Tlr9−/− mice were purchased from Oriental Bioservice. Tmem173−/− (STING-deficient) mice were generated by Dr. G. Barber (University of Miami). Irf3−/− (IRF3-deficient) mice were obtained from RIKEN Bio Resource Center. The C57BL6-derived melanoma cell line B16.F10.SIY (henceforth referred to as B16.SIY) was generated as described (Blank et al., 2005 (link)). 1969 sarcomas tumor cells were gifted by Dr. Robert Schreiber (Washington University). All cells were cultured in complete DMEM media supplemented 10% heat-inactivated FCS. For measurement of type I IFN reporter activity, B16-Blue IFN reporter cells were purchased from InvivoGen and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Animals were used according to protocols approved by the IACUC of University of Chicago according to NIH guidelines for animal use.

RNA-seq of Mavs and Adar Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mavs+/− mice were acquired from Jackson Laboratory (stock #008634, Allele: Mavstm1Zjc). AdarΔ7-9 and Adarb1+/−; Gria2R/R were kindly provided by Dr. Peter Seeburg (Higuchi et al. 2000 (link); Hartner et al. 2004 (link)). Mice were bred using standard in-house mouse facility/FELASA guidelines. For RNA-seq, age-/sex-matched littermate mice of desired genotypes were sacrificed at 2 wk of age, the cortex was isolated, and RNA was extracted using TriFast (VWR Peqlab) and DNase I treated (Thermo Fisher Scientific) following the manufacturer's instructions. Three biological replicates were used for each genotype. To prepare RNA-seq libraries, we started with 1 µg total RNA from each sample and performed poly(A) RNA selection using the NEBNext Poly(A) mRNA Magnetic Isolation Module (New England Biolabs). cDNA libraries were subsequently generated from isolated poly(A) RNA using the NEBNext Ultra Directional RNA Library Prep kit for Illumina (New England Biolabs), barcoded using NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina Index Primers Set 1 (New England Biolabs), and sequenced in a paired-end mode with 125-bp read length using the HiSeq 2500 (Illumina) platform.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
