| molecularNote | The L1L2_Bact_P cassette was inserted at position 16667939 of Chromosome 1 upstream of the critical exon 3 (Build GRCm39). The cassette is composed of an FRT site followed by lacZ sequence and a loxP site. This first loxP site is followed by neomycin resistance gene under the control of the human beta-actin promoter, SV40 polyA, a second FRT site and a second loxP site. A third loxP site is inserted downstream of the targeted exon 3 at position 16668723. The critical exon 3 is thus flanked by loxP sites. A "conditional ready" (floxed) allele was created by flp recombinase expression in mice carrying this allele. Subsequent cre expression resulted in a knockout mouse. Further information on targeting strategies used for this and other IKMC alleles can be found at http://www.informatics.jax.org/mgihome/nomen/IKMC_schematics.shtml. Western blot analysis confirmed the absence of protein expression in brain, spinal cord, heart, lung, kidney, liver, spleen, testis, pancreas and thymus. All three isoforms are affected by this allele. |
