While heterozygous mice are viable and fertile, mice homozygous for this targeted allele die <i>in utero</i>. Immunoblots from homozygous tissues show no protein expression from the targeted gene. The prenatal lethality exhibited by homozygotes on this C57BL/6J congenic background (and also on a 129Sv genetic background) likely results from heart, liver, and placental defects. Please note that homozygous mutants on a mixed/outbred genetic background (129/Sv X Black Swiss) are viable and fertile. These mutant mice may be useful in studying the role of Crkl tyrosine-phosphorylation in Bcr/Abl (Philadelphia chromosome) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Digeorge Syndrome (DGS) and Velocardiofacial Syndrome.

Typically mice are recovered in 12-16 weeks. Contact Customer Service to place an order or for more information.
