Tg(Lhx8-icre)1Kess expression driven by 1 gene
 
Mutation detailsHomologous recombination in bacteria was used to modify a 214 Kb BAC RP23-379E17 containing 130 Kb upstream and 61 Kb downstream of the Lhx8 (Lhx7) gene. The codon-improved Cre recombinase (iCre) containing a nuclear localization signal was fused to the initiation codon of the genes using a PCR-based approach. This was followed by a Simian Virus 40 polyadenylation signal and a Kanamycin resistance cassette that was flanked by FRT sites for the selection of recombinant BACs. BAC recombination was designed to delete the remaining ATG-encoding exon together with 50-200 bp from the downstream intron. Mice were generated by pronuclear injection of the construct into fertilized oocytes. No line number is given. (J:330767)
