These floxed mutant mice possess loxP sites flanking the single coding exon of the Mgat2 gene. This strain may be useful for generating conditional mutations in applications related to fertilization and embryonic development.

Targeted (Conditional ready (e.g. floxed), No functional change) | Mgat2 | mannoside acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2 |
Mice homozygous for this floxed targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. When bred to cre transgenic strains, the loxP-flanked exon is deleted by cre expression.
A targeting vector was used to place a floxed neomycin-thymidine kinase expression cassette downstream of the single coding exon and an additional loxP site upstream of the exon. The construct was electroporated into (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl +-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were transfected with Cre expression plasmid to excise the neo fragment and leave the floxed gene. Gancyclovir-resistant ES cells were injected into blastocysts. Chimeric animals were crossed with C57BL/6 a minimum of nine times by the donating laboratory.

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
