Mutation details: Insertion of a neomycin resistance cassette into the Mecp2 gene introduced loxP sites that flank exons 3 and 4, and added an intron and polyadenylation signal from the human beta globin gene. A CMV-Cre mediated recombination event in the germline then removed exons 3 and 4. Northern blot analysis did not detect Mecp2 mRNA in tissues of mutant male mice (-/y), nor did Western blot analysis detect protein in these tissues. (J:67910)
