Protocol 42722: Standard PCR Assay - Foxp3<tm4(icre)Tch>
Version 1.0

Notes

The genotyping protocol(s) presented here have been optimized for reagents and conditions used by The Jackson Laboratory (JAX). To genotype animals, JAX recommends researchers validate the assay independently upon receipt of animals into their facility. Reaction cycling temperature and times may require additional optimization based on the specific genotyping reagents used.

Expected Results

>chrX:7592231+7592439 209bp GATGGGTAAGCAGGGCAATA CACTGACCTGGCTTGCAGTA

Mutant = 265 bp
Heterozygote = 265 bp and 209 bp
Wild type = 209 bp

The reverse primer (primer 61391) anneals over the nucleotide sequence containing mouse genomic variation rs33352951.

JAX uses a very high speed Taq (~1000 bp/sec), use cycling times recommended for your reagents.
JAX uses a 'touchdown' cycling protocol and therefore has not calculated the optimal annealing temperature for each set of primers.
