Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:86765
• Parent Cell Line: PC3 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S4/SvJae-Tg(Prm-cre)70Og

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Targeting took place in ES cells carrying the cre transgene Tg(Prm-cre)70Og, which expresses Cre recombinase only in haploid spermatids. A loxP site was introduced between exons 3 and 4 while a floxed PGK-neomycin resistance gene was introduced in reverse orientation between exons 5 and 6. Cre recombination in the male germline removed the neomycin gene as well as exons 4 and 5. (J:86765)
