Tool Details

*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (for other uses, please contact the licensing team)

  • Tool name: UNG Mouse
  • Cancer: Blood cancer
  • Cancers detailed: B cell lymphoma
  • Research fields: Cancer;Genetics;Immunology
  • Tool sub type: Mouse
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Conditional: No
  • Description: In vivo study of UNG knockout and DNA mismatch mutation during DNA synthesis. Mice develop B cell lymphoma and are abnormally defective in their immune response. There are also mouse embryonic fibroblasts from this line available.
  • Genetic background: A ung targeting vector, replacing exon 4 with a resistance cassette, was transfected into 129 ES cells. Properly targeted ES cells containing a homologous recombination event were selected, cloned, and injected into C57BL6 blastocysts. Chimeric mice were mated with C57BL6 mice to generate heterozygotes. Heterozygous mice were crossed to generate homozygous Ung-/- mice.
  • Zygosity: Homozygous
  • Production details: A ung targeting vector, replacing exon 4 with a resistance cassette, was transfected into 129 ES cells. Properly targeted ES cells containing a homologous recombination event were selected, cloned, and injected into C57BL6 blastocysts. Chimeric mice were mated with C57BL6 mice to generate heterozygotes. Heterozygous mice were crossed to generate homozygous Ung-/- mice.

Handling

  • Shipping conditions: Embryo/Spermatoza- Dry Ice
