H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell line
Background strain
Appearance
Strain development1. The Iqgap3 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001033484.1) is located on mouse chromosome 3.Thirty-eight exons have been identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 38.2. In the targeting vector, the TGA stop codon will be replaced with the “2A-CreERT2” cassette.3. To engineer the targeting vector, homology arms will be generated by PCR using BAC clone from the C57BL/6 library as template.4. In the targeting vector, the Neor cassette will be flanked by SDA (self-deletion anchor) sites. DTA will be used for negative selection.5. C57BL/6 ES cells will be used for gene targeting.
Strain descriptionIqgap3 is a cytosolic scaffold protein mainly expressed in stem/progenitor cells. Iqgap3-CreERT2 mouse strain can induce or deplete genes of interest in Iqgap3+ stem/progenitor cells due to the Cre/LoxP system.Endogenous Iqgap3 expression is intact. The mice do not show abnormality, and the female mice can get pregnant normally.
Colony maintenance1. Targeted C57BL/6 ES cell clone was injected into C57BL/6 albino embryos, which were then re-implanted into CD-1 pseudo-pregnant females.2. Founder animals were identified by their coat color, their germline transmission was confirmed by breeding with C57BL/6 females and subsequent genotyping of the offspring.3. Heterozygous targeted mice were generated and maintain strain by crossing with wild type C57BL/6 mice.
