- Tool name: Raf-1FF/FF knockin mouse
- Research fields: Cancer;Cell signaling and signal transduction;Genetics;Neurobiology
- Tool sub type: Mouse
- Disease: Cancer
- Model: Knock-In
- Description: A knockin of inactive Raf-1FF/FF mutant; can be use for in vivo study of inactive Raf-1 mutant, and Ras signalling;
- Genetic background: A Raf-1 targeting vector, encoding Raf-1 with a substitution at residues 340 (Y to F) and 341 (Y to F), and a loxP flanked resistance cassette, was transfected into 129Ola ES cells. Properly targeted ES cells containing a homologous recombination event were selected, and transfected with a Cre expressing vector to excise the resistance cassette. Targeted ES cells were then injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. Chimeric offspring were bred with C57BL/6 mice to yield mice heterozygous for the mutant allele.
- Strain: C57BL/6
