• Parent Cell Line: E14.1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Intergenic deletion
• Mutation details: Using transalleleic targeted meiotic recombination, this allele was created in which both the Prnd and Prnp loci are disrupted. The recombined allele lacks ~16 kb encompassing both genes. To generate this allele, Prnp^tm2.1Cwe mice, which have a loxP site in place of the coding sequence, were crossed with Prnd^tm1Aag mice, which have a floxed neo in place of the coding exon. Northern blot analysis indicated absence of Prnp and Prnd transcript in brain, spleen and testes of mutants. (J:89232)
