| Alternative name | C57BL/6NTac-Tnfrsf11b tm3877Tac (Tnfrsf11b flox, OPG flox, Osteoprotegerin flox) |
| Strain type | Targeted Mutant Strains : Conditional mutation |
| Allele/Transgene symbol | Tnfrsf11btm3877Tac |
| Gene/Transgene symbol | Tnfrsf11b |
Information from provider
| Provider | Allan Lawrie |
| Provider affiliation | National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London |
| Genetic information | The line possesses loxP sites flanking exon 2 of the Tnfrsf11b (osteoprotegerin, OPG) gene (chr. 15). It creates a conditional/constitutive Tnfrsf11b knock-out when crossed with an appropriate cre recombinase-expressing mouse line. |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:Normal size and appearance compared to wild-type C57BL/6NTac mice.Heterozygous:Normal size and appearance compared to wild-type C57BL/6NTac mice. |
| Breeding history | More than 10 generations of backcrossing to C57BL/6NTac background. Colony then maintained by in-bred homozygote breeding. |
| References | None available |
| Homozygous fertile | yes |
| Homozygous viable | yes |
| Homozygous matings required | no |
| Immunocompromised | no |
