CEPT1 floxed mice

— C57BL/6 ES cells were targeted with a vector (European Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis Program) carrying loxP sites flanking exon 3 of mouse Cept1. A karyotypically normal clone (of 10 correctly targeted) was injected into B6(Cg)-Tyrc-2J/J blastocysts and chimeric mice were bred with B6(Cg)-Tyrc2J/J f…
