These floxed-AP-2gamma mutant mice possess loxP sites flanking exon 6 of the transcription factor AP-2, gamma (Tfap2c) gene. AP-2gamma is a transcription factor expressed early in embryogenesis in trophoblast cell lineage. Mice that are homozygous for this allele are viable and fertile. When bred to mice that express tissue-specific Cre recombinase, resulting offspring will have exon 6 deleted in the cre-expressing tissues.
A targeting vector was designed to insert a loxP site upstream of exon 6 of the transcription factor AP-2, gamma (Tfap2c) gene. A frt-flanked neomycin resistance (neo) cassette, followed by a second loxP site were placed downstream of exon 6. The construct was electroporated into 129S1/Sv-Oca2+ Tyr+ Kitl+-derived CJ-7 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were transiently transfected with a actb-Flpe expression plasmid to delete the neo cassette. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts and resulting chimeric mice were bred to Black Swiss mice. These mice were subsequently crossed to mice carrying the Tfap2atm2Will allele on a mixed Swiss Black x 129S background. Upon arrival, mice were bred to 129S1/SvImJ inbred mice (Stock No. 002448) for at least one generation to establish the colony. The Tfap2atm2Will allele was bred out of this colony, and is maintained as Stock No. 023406.

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.
