Caption Scheme for generating the Alktm1Swm allele. An EcoRI fragment of the Alk genomic DNA locus was used to develop the Alk targeting vector, in which the exons coding for juxtamembrane domain of the ALK protein and the ATP binding pocket of the kinase domain, and their flanking sequences were replaced by a neo expression cassette. An EcoRI site was introduced into the targeted locus by the neo cassette. A herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene cassette mediating negative ES cell selection with ganciclovir was inserted in the 5' end of the Alk-neo construct. Correctly targeted ES cell clones with normal karyotypes were injected into blastocysts to generate chimeric mice for subsequent breeding to obtain germline transmission. Letters indicate restriction enzyme sites.
