Information from provider

ProviderTak W Mak
Provider affiliationMak Lab, Campbell Family Breast Cancer reseach Institute
Genetic informationA targeting vector was designed to delete 2.6 kb of genomic DNA containing three coding exons of Casp9. This strategy led to the introduction of termination codons into all three reading frames and the removal of 138 amino acids, including the key pentapeptide QACGG, required for Casp9 activity.
Phenotypic informationInterbreeding of Casp9+/- mice showed that homozygosity for the Casp9 mutation was lethal, since fewer than 8% of postnatal day (pnd) 1 mice were homozygotes. At birth, Casp9-/- mice were consistently smaller than control littermates, and most died before pnd 3. Timed matings indicated that the onset of abnormalities was at about E12.5. At E12.5 and E15.5, Casp9-/- mice displayed protrusions of the brain tissue from the skull. These data show that Casp9 is required for embryonic and postnatal survival.
Breeding historyMust be bred as heterozygous. Pure C57BL/6.

Order

Availabilities

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

  • Frozen sperm. 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).
