Tool Details
*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
- Tool name: UNG Mouse
- Tool sub type: Mouse
- Disease: Cancer
- Conditional: No
- Description: In vivo study of UNG knockout and DNA mismatch mutation during DNA synthesis. Mice develop B cell lymphoma and are abnormally defective in their immune response. There are also mouse embryonic fibroblasts from this line available.
- Genetic background: A ung targeting vector, replacing exon 4 with a resistance cassette, was transfected into 129 ES cells. Properly targeted ES cells containing a homologous recombination event were selected, cloned, and injected into C57BL6 blastocysts. Chimeric mice were mated with C57BL6 mice to generate heterozygotes. Heterozygous mice were crossed to generate homozygous Ung-/- mice.
- Zygosity: Homozygous
- Production details: A ung targeting vector, replacing exon 4 with a resistance cassette, was transfected into 129 ES cells.
