• Parent Cell Line: D3 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S2/SvPas

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A single loxP site was introduced 5' to exon 2 and a loxP-flanked thymidine kinase-neomycin fusion gene was inserted 3' to exon 3. Cre-mediated deletion of the intervening sequences was accomplished by mating mutant mice to CMV-cre mice, deleting the DNA encoding the major transactivation domain. RT-PCR analysis on spleen and thymus RNA indicated that no detectable transcript is expressed from this allele. (J:51885)
