STOCK Mir137tm1Mtm/Mmjax

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250345

These microRNA 137 conditional mutant mice are designed to generate a null allele or a lacZ tagged null allele when combined with Flp or Cre recombinase expressing strains. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of microRNA biology.

Molecular Note
A targeting vector was designed to insert an FRT site followed by a lacZ gene, a loxP site, a neomycin resistance gene cassette, a second FRT site and a second loxP site (FRT lacZ-loxP-Neo-FRT loxP) upstream of the microRNA stem loop and a third loxP site immediately downstream of the microRNA stem loop. This was intended to Create a knockout-first conditional-ready reporter knockout allele, but no beta-galactosidase activity could be detected in adult or embryonic tissues of heterozygous mice, nor could a functional conditional-ready allele be Created after flp-mediated deletion of the insert, suggesting that the inserted FRT and/or LoxP recombination sites interfere with the transcription of the allele.

Breeding Considerations
While maintaining a live colony, these mice have been bred as heterozygotes, however, the Donating Investigator indicates that homozygotes are viable and fertile.
