Transgene origin

• Strain of Origin: C3H/HeOuJ

Transgene description

• Transgene Type: Transgenic (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Random integration of a transgene for IFN beta expressed under the control of a truncated H2-K1 promoter resulted in deletion of a 17 kb region encompassing exons 2 and 3 of the Maoa gene. Enzyme activity was absent in brain and spleen samples from mutant animals. (J:26232)
