Product description: In vivo study of LFA-1 knockout; in vivo study of inflammation and leukocyte recruitment;
Alternate name: LFA-1, Integrin beta-2, Complement receptor C3 subunit beta, CD18
Conditional: No
Genetic background: An LFA-1 targeting vector, containing a resistance cassette inserted into exon 2, was transfected into 129 ES cells. Properly targeted ES cells containing a homologous recombination event were selected, cloned and injected into C57BL6 blastocysts. Chimeric offspring were backcrossed to establish heterozygotes. LFA+/- mice were interbred to establish LFA-/- homozygotes.
