Abstract:
We have engineered a set of useful tools that facilitate targeted single copy knock-in (KI) at the hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase 1 (Hprt1) locus. We employed fine scale mapping to delineate the precise breakpoint location at the Hprt1(b-m3) locus allowing allele specific PCR assays to be established. Our suite of tools contains four targeting expression vectors and a complementing series of embryonic stem cell lines. Two of these vectors encode enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) driven by the human cytomegalovirus immediate-early enhancer/modified chicken beta-actin (CAG) promoter, whereas the other two permit flexible combinations of a chosen promoter combined with a reporter and/or gene of choice. We have validated our tools as part of the Pleiades Promoter Project (http://www.pleiades.org), with the generation of brain-specific EGFP positive germline mouse strains.
