Product description: The Raf-/- embryo phenotype shows defects in vascularisation and placental development as well as increased apoptosis of many tissues.
Conditional: No
Genetic background: Raf-1 targeting vectors, where exons 10-13 were replaced with a resistance marker, were transfected into 129Ola ES cells. Successfully targeted ES cells containing homologous recombination events were selected and injected into blastocysts, Chimeric offspring were mated to MF-1 outbred background and the the C57BL6 inbred strain.
