B6;129-Myrftm1Barr/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250185

Common Name: MRF floxed
Myrftm1Barr mice harbor loxP sites flanking exon 8 of the myelin regulatory factor gene. When bred to mice that express Cre recombinase, the resulting offspring will have this region deleted in the cre-expressing tissue(s). These mice may be useful in generating conditional mutations for studying the role of Myrf in CNS myelination and other cellular processes.

Molecular Note
A targeting vector was used to flank exon 8 of the endogenous gene with loxP sites. The vector also contained an FRT flanked neomycin resistance cassette. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6 mice. Heterozygous mice were crossed to the FlpER (129S4/SvJaeSor-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(FLP1)Dym) strain to remove the neo cassette, leaving a single FRT site upstream of exon 8 and the flanking loxP sites.
