• Alliance: Chrna7^tm1.1Ehs page

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:219327
• Parent Cell Line: ART B6-3, B6-3 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: C57BL/6NTac

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Conditional ready)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: The targeting vector contains a loxP site 290 bp upstream of exon 4 and loxP site followed by a FRT-flanked PGK-Neo selection cassette 380 bp downstream of exon 4. Flp-mediated recombination removed the FRT-flanked neo cassette leaving exon 4 floxed. (J:219327)
