Primary Identifier | MGI:2178820 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Null/knockout | Gene | Itk |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | 129S4/SvJae |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | Exon 4 and part of exon 3 of this gene was replaced with a PGK(G)neopA cassette via homologous recombination. A stop codon was engineered at position 78 to further ensure a null allele. PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed the presence of the targeted mutation, and Western blot analysis determined no Itk protein was present in thymocytes of homozygous mutant animals. |
