Parent Cell Line:  D3 (ES Cell)
Strain of Origin:  129S2/SvPas
Mutation
description
Allele Type:    Targeted (Null/knockout)
Mutation:    Insertion
 
Mutation detailsA neomycin selection cassette was inserted into exon 2. RT-PCR experiments on RNA derived from LPS-stimulated macrophages of homozygous mice demonstrated that no detectable transcript was produced from this allele. ELISA and bioassay experiments confirmed that no functional protein was made in homozygous mice. (J:17360)
