molecularNote | The second exon was disrupted by the insertion of a neomycin resistance gene. In addition, the ES cell line used was derived from the 129S2/SvPas strain, which carries a deletion in the promoter region of H2-Ea. Consequently, these MHC class II molecule-deficient mice lacked cell surface expression of both class II-A and class II-E MHC proteins. |
