Mutation description

• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details:

  The mouse heavy (Igh) immunoglobulin chain regions were modified to incorporate human sequences to enhance the testing of broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb) responses to conserved HIV-1 envelope protein immunogens. The mouse Igh region on Chromosome 12: the mouse VH5-2 (Ighv5-2) segment was replaced with human VH (IGHV3-15*01); the mouse intergenic control region 1 (IGCR1, located between the VH and D clusters) was deleted; and all four of the mouse JH (mJH) segments were replaced with a single human JH (IGHJ6*03). A human D segment (IGHD3-3*01) was placed immediately upstream of the hJH, in place of mouse DQ52. LoxP-flanked neomycin cassettes in each of the targeting constructs were removed from ES cell clones through the transient expression of Adeno-cre recombinase. (J:101977, J:389722)
