Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:46932
• Parent Cell Line: W9.5/W95 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S1/Sv-Oca2⁺ Tyr⁺ Kitl⁺

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A neomycin resistance cassette replaced a 687 bp fragment of the gene, which contained the exon encoding MD2. In situ hybridization of parasagittal sections of brains from homozygous mutant mice probed with gene-specific probes showed no detectable mRNA for the targeted gene. Immunoblots of hippocampal membrane extracts from homozygous mutant mice using antibodies against the targeted protein showed no detectable protein. (J:46932)
