|  Newly deposited mouse strains
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

  These mice have been newly deposited to RIKEN BRC. They will be
available soon after rederivation. We appreciate depositors for their
contributions to the scientific community.

|  Newly available mouse strains
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

  These mice just have been rederived into our SPF barrier facility.
These mice are now available for distribution.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|  Mouse strains for freeze preservation
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

  Since enough number of embryos has been preserved, live mice of these
strains will be closed soon. It will take more than 3 months to recover
live mice from frozen stock. Please let us know as soon as possible, if
you plan to use the mice and request them alive.
