Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:82048
• Parent Cell Line: CGR8 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout, Reporter)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Approximately 20 kb of endogenous sequence was replaced with an IRES-beta-geo cassette. The deleted sequence contained 7 exons encoding the cytokine receptor domains (amino acids 85 through 444). The expression pattern of the beta-galactosidase gene recapitulated that of the endogenous gene. (J:82048)
