• Parent Cell Line: PC3 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S4/SvJae-Tg(Prm-cre)70Og

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout, Reporter)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Targeting took place in ES cells carrying a cre transgene Tg(Prm-cre)70Og, which expresses Cre recombinase under control of the male-germline specific protamine promoter. An IRES-lacZpA cassette and a neo cassette replaced exons encoding a portion of the homeobox domain. Cre-mediated excision removed the neo cassette upon transmission from male chimeras. X-gal staining confirmed beta-galactosidase activity in heterozygotes. (J:89292)
