Exon 4 of these targeted mutant mice is flanked by loxP sites. Mice that are homozygous for this floxed allele are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. When crossed with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is useful in eliminating tissue-specific expression of the gene. When crossed to a CD4-cre mouse strain, progeny have fewer CD4+ T cells than wildtype mice and completely lack NK T cells.

Use of MICE by companies or for-profit entities requires a license prior to shipping.

Exon 4 of these Runx1 (runt related transcription factor 1) targeted mutant mice is flanked by loxP sites. When crossed with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is useful in eliminating tissue-specific expression of the gene. When crossed to a CD4-cre mouse strain, progeny have fewer CD4+ T cells than wildtype mice and completely lack NK T cells.

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