| molecularNote | A stop codon and a floxed neo cassette were inserted into exon 4. The stop codon was inserted downstream of codon 308, allowing translation of the methyl-CpG binding domain and the transcriptional repression domain. Western blot analysis showed that only truncated protein was present in homozygous mutant mice. Staining of brain tissue with a carboxy terminal antibody confirmed the absence of normal protein. |
