B6(Cg)-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1.1(DUX4*)Plj/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250691

Common Name: Dux4-fl
FLExDUX4 mice conditionally express human DUX4 following Cre-mediated recombination. This strain may be useful for studying facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).This strain is currently unavailable due to replenishing of cryopreserved stocks. Interested customers can register interest.

Molecular Note
The targeting vector was designed with (from 5 to 3) a loxP site, an FRT flanked neomycin resistance gene, a lox511 site, an inverted human double homeobox 4 (DUX4) gene with a polyadenylation sequence, and another loxP site and lox511 site, both in opposite orientation to the 5 sites. The DUX4 gene contains 4 silent point mutations in exon 1 that prevent alternative splicing of a truncated isoform, DUX4-s, while maintaining the DUX4-fl ORF. This entire construct was inserted between exons 1 and 2 of the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. Flp-mediated recombination removed the FRT flanked neo cassette.
