• Alliance: Oxtr^tm2.1Knis page

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:146587
• Parent Cell Line: E14TG2a (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout, Reporter)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Part of exon 3 was replaced with a modified version of a yellow fluorescent protein gene (Venus) and a floxed pgk-neo cassette was inserted in intron 3 via homologous recombination. The neo cassette was then removed by Cre mediated recombination. RT-PCR and autoradiogram analysis confirmed the absence of RNA expression and binding activity in brains from homozygous mice.
