Flp deleter mice

Manufactured by Jackson ImmunoResearch

Flp-deleter mice are a type of genetically modified mouse that express the Flp recombinase enzyme. The Flp recombinase enzyme is capable of removing DNA sequences that are flanked by Flp recognition target (FRT) sites. This allows for the targeted deletion of specific DNA sequences in the mouse genome.

Myeloid-specific Orai1 Knockout Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stim1fl/fl animals were purchased from Jackson Laboratory (stock No. 023350) and bred with Lyz2-cre animals (Jackson Laboratory, stock No. 004781) for two generations. Targeting of murine Orai1 was performed by flanking exon 2 with LoxP sites by homologous recombination in AB2.2 (129SvEv) embryonic stem (ES) cells. Exon 2 encodes for 201 a.a. out of a total of 304 a.a. of Orai1 protein. G418-resistant clones were screened by PCR for homologous recombination at both homology arms. Chimeric mice with floxed Orai1 alleles were generated by blastocyst injection of heterozygous Orai1fl/+ ES cell clones. Founder Orai1fl/+ mice were bred with Flp-deleter mice (Jackson Laboratory) to remove the neomycin resistance gene cassette. Orai1fl/fl mice were backcrossed to C57/BL6/J mice for at least 10 generations and then bred with Lyz2-cre mice to generate myeloid-specific deletion of Orai1. All mice were maintained in pathogen-free barrier facilities and used in accordance with protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at the UCLA.

Generation of Pten S398A Mutant Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chimeric mice were produced by microinjection of independent PtenS398A ES cell clones into E3.5 C57BL/6J blastocysts and transferred to ICR pseudopregnant foster mothers. Chimeric males were mated with C57BL/6J females (Jackson Laboratory). Germ line transmission of the mutant allele was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analysis of tail DNA from mice with an agouti coat color. The PGK-Neo cassette was removed by crossing with Flp-deleter mice (Jackson Laboratory stock #009086) [30 (link)] and PCR genotyping and sequence validation of recombination at the FRT sites.
All experimental procedures strictly adhered to the Canadian Council on Animal Care guidelines.

Generation of Irf2 Knockout Mice

Chimeric mice were produced by microinjection of independent mIrf2+/− ES cell clones into E3.5 C57BL/6J blastocysts and transferred to pseudopregnant foster mothers. Chimeric males were mated with C57Bl/6J females (Jackson Laboratory). Germ line transmission of the mutant allele was confirmed by PCR analysis of tail DNA from mice with an agouti coat color. The PGK-Neo cassette was removed from mouse Irf2+/− mice by crossing with Flp-deleter mice (Jackson Laboratory stock #009086) (Farley et al., 2000 (link)) and PCR genotyping and sequence validation of recombination at the FRT sites.

Liver-Specific Slc25a47 Knockout Mouse Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All the animal experiments in this study were performed in compliance with protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The Slc25a47 floxed (Slc25a47flox/flox) mouse was generated by in vitro fertilization of homozygous sperm (UC David) from Slc25a47tm1a (EUCOMM)Hmgu targeting exons 5 and 6 of the Slc25a47 gene in C57BL/6J background. A floxed LacZ-neomycin cassette on the Tm1a allele was removed using a flippase (FLP)/Frt deletion by breeding Slc25a47flox/flox with FLP deleter mice (Jackson Laboratory, Stock No. 009086). Slc25a47flox/flox mice were bred with Albumin Cre mice (Jackson Laboratory, Stock No. 003574) to generate liver-specific Slc25a47 deletion mice (Slc25a47Alb-Cre). Mice were kept under a 12-h:12-h light–dark cycle at ambient temperature (22 to 23 °C) and had free access to food and water. Mice were maintained on a regular chow diet or fed with a high-fat diet (60% fat, D12492, Research Diets) starting from 6 wk of age for 6 wk. All mice were fasted for 6 h before killing. To acutely deplete Slc25a47, we injected 7-wk-old Slc25a47flox/flox mice with 1.5 × 1011 genome copies of AAV8-TBG-Cre (Addgene, 107787-AAV8) or AAV8-TBG-null (control, Addgene, 105536-AAV8) through tail vein injection.

Targeted Deletion of CRACR2A Gene

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Targeting of CRACR2A gene was performed by flanking exons 3 and 4 with LoxP sites by homologous recombination in AB2.2 (129SvEv) embryonic stem (ES) cells. Aberrant splicing of exon 2 to exon 5 causes a shift in reading frame resulting in truncation of the protein. Deletion of exons 3 and 4 would result in loss of expression of both the isoforms of CRACR2A. G418 resistant clones were PCR screened for homologous recombination at both the homology arms. Chimeric mice with floxed CRACR2A alleles were generated by blastocyst injection of heterozygous CRACR2Afl/+ ES cell clones. Founder CRACR2Afl/+ chimeric mice were bred with Flp-deleter mice (Jackson Laboratories) to remove neomycin resistance gene cassette. CRACR2A mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6 mice for at least 10 generations and then bred with CD4Cre mice (Jackson Laboratories) to generate T cell-specific deletion of CRACR2A. All animals were maintained in pathogen-free barrier facilities and used in accordance with protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at the University of California, Los Angeles.

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.
