Flpo mice

Manufactured by Jackson ImmunoResearch

FLPo Mice are a specialized strain of laboratory mice developed by Jackson ImmunoResearch. They carry a gene encoding the FLPo recombinase, a highly efficient site-specific DNA recombinase. This recombinase can be used to induce genetic modifications in target cells or tissues, enabling researchers to study various biological processes.

C57BL/6 Uqcrfsfl/fl (RISPfl/fl) are previously described8 (link). C57BL/6 mice harboring a loxp-flanked exon 1 of the Uqcrq gene (encodes QPC, QPCfl/fl mice) were generated by Ozgene (locus map in Extended Data Figure 4a). The frt-flanked neomycin resistance cassette was removed by crossing QPCfl/fl mice to mice expressing FLP-recombinase (FLPo Mice Jackson Lab, Stock no. 011065). Loss of the Neo-cassette was confirmed using PCR. QPCfl/fl mice were genotyped using the following primers: 1. 5’-CTTCCGCTCCTCCCGGAAGT-3’, 2. 5’-TTCCCAAACTCGCGGCCCATG-3’ and 3. 5’-CAATTCCAGCCAACAGTCCC-3’ which allow identification of the Uqcrq wild-type, loxp-flanked, and excised alleles. RISPfl/fl and QPCfl/fl mice were checked for C57BL/6 status and both are >99% C57BL/J using the genome scanning service from Jackson Laboratories. Foxp3YFP-Cre (stock no. 016959), Foxp3eGFP-Cr-eERT2 (stock no. 016961), and ROSA26SorCAG-tdTomato (Ai14, stock no. 007908) mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratory. 40 mg/ml tamoxifen dissolved in corn oil was administered to mice every third day using oral gavage to reach an effective dose of 320mg/kg in 8 to 12-week old mice. All animal procedures were approved by Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at Northwestern University.

Generation and Analysis of Grsf1 Knockout Mice

The generation and analysis of the mutant mice were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of the National Institute on Aging. C57BL/6N-Atm1Brd Grsf1tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi/WtsiIeg (Grsf1tm1a) mice harboring a mutant allele in the Grsf1 locus were purchased from the European Mouse Mutant Archive (EMMA, EM:10950). In the mutant allele, exons 4 and 5 of Grsf1 were floxed by two LoxP sites (Figure 1A). Additionally, a LacZ and a Neo cassette, sandwiched by two FRT (Flippase recognition target) sites were inserted into intron 3. To generate conditional Grsf1-LoxP mice, we deleted the LacZ and Neo cassettes by crossing Grsf1tm1a mice with FLPo mice (Stock No: 007844, Jackson Laboratory) expressing the Flippase widely under the Gt(ROSA)26Sor promoter. The resultant Grsf1-LoxP (Grsf1 floxed) mice were crossed further with the Myf5Cre mice (Stock No: 007893, the Jackson Laboratory) to generate skeletal muscle-specific Grsf1 knockout (Grsf1cKO) mice (Figure 1A). Genotyping was done by Transnetyx (Cordova, TN) following protocols from EMMA and Jackson Laboratories.

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.
