Caption A) Targeting strategy used to disrupt the Hsd11b1 (11betaHSD1) locus. Homologous recombination (represented by X) between the targeting vector and the Hsd11b1 gene results in the replacement of exons 4 and 5 with the selection cassette. The Hsd11b1 targeting vector was derived using the Lambda KOS system. The Lambda KOS phage library, arrayed into 96 superpools, was screened by PCR using exons 4 and 5-specific primers Hsd-1 (5'-AGGTAGTGTCTCGCTGCCTT-3') and Hsd-3 (5'-CTTCGCACAGAGTGGATGTC-3'). PCR-positivephage superpools were plated and screened by filter hybridization using the 306 bp amplicon derived from primers Hsd-1 and Hsd-3 as a probe. Three pKOS genomic clones, pKOS-63, pKOS-73 and pKOS-82, were isolated from the library screen and confirmed by sequence and restriction analysis. The yeast selection cassette and pKOS-73 were co-transformed into yeast. Clones that had undergone homologous recombination to replace a 408 bp region containing exon 4 and exon 5 with the yeast selection cassette were isolated. The yeast cassette was subsequently replaced with a LacZ/Neo selection cassette to complete the Hsd11b1 targeting vector. The Not I linearized targeting vector was electroporated into 129S5/SvEvBrd (Lex-1) ES cells. G418/FIAU resistant ES cell clones were isolated, and correctly targeted clones were identified and confirmed by Southern analysis using a 328 bp 5' external probe (9/10), generated by PCR using primers Hsd-9 (5'-CAATGCATCCATGCGCCTGAA-3') and Hsd-10 (5'-AGAGACCAGACATTAGGACAC-3') and a 607 bp 3' internal probe (Neo5/2), amplified by PCR using primers Neo-5 (5'-GGCAGCGCGGCTATCGTG-3') and Neo-2 (5'-TCAGAAGAACTCGTCAAG-3').
