  Expresses human HBB containing amino acid substitution of alanine for cysteine at position 93 of human HBB

• Mutation details: In ES cells that were homozygous for Hba^tm1(HBA)Tow and Hbb^{tm2(HBG1,HBB*)Tow} the human gamma chain and beta chain containing the sickle cell mutation were replaced with 4.6 kb fragment of human HBB containing nucleotide substitutions that lead to an amino acid substitution of alanine for cysteine at position 93 of human HBB. Flanking sequence that extends to -815 of HBB as well as a floxed hygro cassette were also inserted. Cre-mediated recombination was used to remove the hygro cassette. (J:137709)
