CFJ302 C. elegans unc-119(kst33) III. Show Description
Maintain at 15C. Temperature-sensitive unc-119 allele. Wild-type at 15C, intermediate Unc and Egl at 20C, and fully penetrant Unc and Egl at 25C. For use in transgenesis, maintain the strain at lower temperatures for increased brood size and easier injection, then transfer animals to 25C to select for transgenic animals based on Unc rescue. Molecular characterization shows a complex allele with a 210 bp duplication from a nearby exon-intron junction, which introduces 12 amino acids and a putative splice donor at a consensus splice acceptor site. The phenotype is most likely caused by temperature-sensitive splicing defects based on RT-PCR. Reference: Aljohani M, et al.

CL4176 C. elegans smg-1(cc546) I; dvIs27 X. Show Description
dvIs27 [myo-3p::A-Beta (1-42)::let-851 3'UTR) + rol-6(su1006)] X. Rollers. Temperature sensitive: needs to be propagated at 15C. Upshift larval animals to check that the worms get paralyzed and give offspring that arrest as eggs/early larvae. This strain produces low levels of beta amyloid peptide even when grown at low temperature, and therefore there is always some selection for loss of transgene copies. It is recommended to maintain growing stock plates at 15-16 degrees C by transferring small numbers of animals each generation rather than by "chunking", which increases the effective population size and therefore the chance of a relatively rare transgene loss, and then this revertant taking over the population. The strain should also be frozen shortly after being received. This strain can only be sent to academic users and not to commercial organizations.
