Caption The 5' and 3' arms of the alphaA-crystallin gene (Cryaa) were cloned into a vector containing the floxed neomycin (neo) cDNA. Mutagenesis was performed to mutate amino acid arginine 49 to cysteine (R49C). The asterisk above exon 1 indicates the mutation. The numbered blue rectangles indicate exons. The filled triangles are loxP sites and X denotes the XhoI site. Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells SCC-10 were electroporated with the mutant plasmid, and clones testing positive for neo were identified and used to generate heterozygous Cryaatm1Ady mice. Cre-mediated recombination in the germline removes the neo cassette (mutated allele without neor) and generates the Cryaatm1.1Ady allele.
