Provider affiliationInstitut für Pathologie, University of Basel
Genetic informationThe 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 informationCd44v10-/-: homozygous mice are viable and fertile, display strongly reduced symptoms in autoimmune diseases and defects in haemopoiesis.
Breeding history10 generations backcrossed to C57BL/6Rcc. Currently bred as C57BL/6Rcc Cd44v10-/-

Order

Availabilities

Requesting frozen sperm or embryos is generally advisable wherever possible, in order to minimise the shipment of live mice.

  • Frozen embryos. Delivered in 4 weeks (after paperwork in place). €1740*
  • Rederivation of mice from frozen stock, delivery time available upon request . €3880*

Due to the dynamic nature of our processes strain availability may change at short notice. The local repository manager will advise you in these circumstances.

* In addition users have to cover all the shipping costs (including the cost for returning dry-shippers, where applicable).
