Product description: Siglecs-8 and -F are paralogous membrane proteins highly expressed on human and mouse eosinophils respectively.
Alternate name: Siglec-8, Sialic Acid Binding Ig Like Lectin 8, SAF-2,
Conditional: No
Genetic background: Siglec FR114D knock in mice, carrying an Arg114 to Asp mutation in the Siglec F gene predicted to abolish sialic acid binding were generated by Taconic Artemis using C57Bl/6 ES cells (targeting strategy illustrated in PMID: 24698729). Further crossing of homozygous Siglec FR114D mice with Tg (Nes-Cre)1Wme/J(Bal1-Cre) mice produced offspring with mosaicism/partial deletion of exons 6-9 in adult organs (including germline) resulting in the truncated Siglec F knock out allele. Mosaic offspring were then used to generate Siglec F KO mice
