Primary Identifier | MGI:2652550 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(Prnp)d11Cwe |
Strain of Origin | Not Specified | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
description | Two founder lines were generated, D11 and D12. |
molecularNote | To define the requirements of Prnp for conferring susceptibility to scrapie, N- terminal deletion mutants of the Prnp genes were constructed in transgenic mice. In this transgenic line, amino acids 32-80 were deleted but the codons for signal sequence and nine additional amino acids were retained to ensure correct processing and cellular localization. |
