*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

  • Tool name: Raf KI D486A Mouse
  • Tool sub type: Mouse
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Conditional: No
  • Description: Knockin of oncogenic Raf-1D486A; in vivo study of oncogenic Raf-1 mutant, and Ras signalling
  • Genetic background: A Raf-1 targeting vector, encoding Raf-1 with a substitution at residue 486 (D to A) and a loxP flanked resistance cassette, was transfected into 129Ola ES cells. Raf-1 was targeted by homologous recombination with the targeting vector. Correctly targeted ES cells were transfected with a Cre expressing vector to excise the resistance cassette, before injection into C57BL/6 blastocysts. Chimeric offspring were bred with C57BL/6 mice to yield mice heterozygous for the mutant allele.
