• Alliance: Mef2d^tm1.2Tfur page

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:230346
• Parent Cell Line: TC1/TC-1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S6/SvEvTac

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: An FRT-flanked neomycin resistance cassette with a 3' loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 2. An additional loxP site was inserted downstream of exon 4. Flp-mediated recombination removed the selection cassette. Cre-mediated recombination removed exon 2 through 4 floxed. RT-PCR analysis confirmed the absence of transcript in the retina of homozygous mutant mice. (J:230346)
