Loxp mice

Manufactured by RIKEN BioResource Center
Sourced in Japan

LoxP mice are a type of genetically modified mouse strain. The core function of LoxP mice is to allow for the targeted deletion or modification of specific genes in a controlled and tissue-specific manner. The LoxP (locus of X-over P1) sequences are inserted into the mouse genome, enabling the use of the Cre-loxP recombination system to manipulate gene expression.

Osteoclast-Specific PKC-δ Knockout Mice

LoxP mice were obtained from RIKEN BioResource Research Center (Stock Number: RBRC06462, Strain Name: C57BL/6-Prkcd, 3-1-1 Koyadai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan). CTSK-Cre mice were kindly provided by Professor Jiake Xu from School of Biomedical Sciences, The University of Western Australia. Mice with an OC-cKO of the PKC-δ (PKC-δ cKO) were generated by crossing mice heterozygous for a floxed exon 7 PKC-δ allele (PKC-δ (ex7)flox/wt) with CTSK-Cre mice heterozygously carrying a cyclization recombinase of which the expression is controlled by the CTSK promoter (CTSK-Cre+PKC-δflox/wt). Offspring were genotyped and the presence of the CTSK-Cre transgene was determined on genomic DNA (gDNA) via PCR with primer sequences presented in Supplementary Table S1. In all the experiments described below, we analyzed CTSK-Cre+PKC-δflox/flox mice that lack PKC-δ in OCs, and CTSK-CrePKC-δflox/flox littermates as controls.

Generation of B-cell-specific PKC-δ knockout mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LoxP mice were purchased from RIKEN BioResource Research Center (Stock Number: RBRC06462, Strain Name: C57BL/6-Prkcd, 3-1-1 Koyadai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-0074, Japan), and CD19-Cre mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Stock Number: 006785, Strain Name: B6.129P2(C)-CD19tm1(cre)Cgn/J, Bar Harbor, ME, USA). Mice with B-cell-selective knockout of the PKC-δ (CD19-Cre+ PKC-δflox/flox) were generated by crossing mice heterozygous for a floxed exon 7 PKC-δ allele (PKC-δ(ex7)flox/+) with heterozygous mice carrying a cyclization recombinase of which the expression is controlled by the CD19 promoter (CD19-Cre+ PKC-δflox/+). Offspring mice were weaned at 3 weeks of age and genotyped by PCR, the presence of the CD19-Cre transgene was determined on genomic DNA via PCR with forward primer: 5′-ATTTGCCTGCATTACCGGTC-3′ and reverse primer: 5′-ATCAACGTTTTCTTTTCGG-3′ resulting in a 377 bp fragment. CD19-Cre-PKC-δflox/flox littermate mice were used as control.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
