Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Constructs containing a PGK-neo cassette in place of exons 3 through 5 were inserted into ES cells. Southern blot and sequence analysis revealed that a single ES cell contained three constructs inserted into intron 12. This cell was to generate heterozygous mice. (J:74647)
