Primary Identifier | MGI:5581510 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Conditional ready, Inserted expressed sequence, Null/knockout, Reporter, Transactivator | Gene | Prg4 |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl<+> |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | A targeting vector containing a loxP-flanked artifical exon that contains a strong splice acceptor, an in-frame Bgeo lacZ coding sequence, an internal ribosome entry site (IRES), a reverse tet transactivator (rtTA) cassette with a polyA signal, and a neomycin selection cassette driven by its own promoter was inserted into intron 2 of the gene. The allele does not express wild-type Prg4 mRNA, as determined by RT-PCR. Cre-mediated excision of the targeting vector leaves one loxP in intron 2 and allows expression of Prg4 mRNA. |
