Genetic information | The mouse Cd44 variant region was isolated from a 129SV genomic library. Two 34 bp loxP sites were inserted in direct repeats into a single BstEII site 5' of exon v10 and at the 3' end of the neo resistance cassette, which was then inserted into the single BstXI site 3' of exon v10. The targeting vector was transfected in ES cells and homologous recombinant clones injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. Chimaeric male offspring was then mated with C57BL/6 cre recombinase deleter females to allow the removal of the loxP flanked region. Offspring was genotyped by PCR using exon v10 flanking oligos and analysing for the deletion of the loxP targeted region. |
Phenotypic information | Cd44v10-/-: homozygous mice are viable and fertile, display strongly reduced symptoms in autoimmune diseases and defects in haemopoiesis. |
Breeding history | 10 generations backcrossed to C57BL/6Rcc. Currently bred as C57BL/6Rcc Cd44v10-/- |
