MEF Raf1 FF/FF KI Cell Line
Invented at University Of Leicester
| Catalogue Number | 151477 | 
| Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | Raf1 Y340F Y341F (inactive mutant) | 
| Disease Keywords | Cancer; Apoptosis | 
| Relevance | A knockin of inactive Raf-1FF/FF mutant; can be use for in vivo study of inactive Raf-1 mutant, and Ras signalling; | 
| Production Details | A Raf-1 targeting vector, encoding Raf-1 with a substitution at residues 340 (Y to F) and 341 (Y to F), and a loxP flanked resistance cassette, was transfected into 129Ola ES cells. Properly targeted ES cells containing a homologous recombination event were selected, and transfected with a Cre expressing vector to excise the resistance cassette. Targeted ES cells were then injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. Chimeric offspring were bred with C57BL/6 mice to yield mice heterozygous for the mutant allele. |
