Fabp4 - Model 10896 - KO

• The targeting vector has been generated using C57BL/6J DNA and transfected into Taconic’s C57BL/6NTac ES cell line.
• Fabp4 exon 1 contains the translation initiation codon.
• Exons 1 to 4 have been replaced by the FRT site flanked neomycin resistance gene cassette.
• The neomycin resistance gene cassette has been removed by transient transfection of Flp recombinase into targeted ES cell clones.
• The constitutive KO line has been derived using C57BL/6NTac animals.
• Deletion of exons 1 to 4 should result in loss of function of the Fabp4 gene by removing the entire coding sequence.
• The remaining recombination sites are located in non-conserved regions of the genome.
• Datamining and Design performed in 2008.

GEM Collection models exist as cryopreserved materials. Models can typically be recovered and delivered to customers within 14-16 weeks after order receipt. Customers will receive:

• A minimum of four (4) mice mutant for the selected mutation. In rare cases where the cryopreserved material also contains a recombinase gene, this may be reduced to 1-2 mutant mice.
• Validated genotyping protocols
• Animal health report. Mice will meet Taconic's Murine Pathogen Free™ (MPF™) health standard.

Please note that in rare instances (2%) cryorecovery may prove to be difficult, either extending timeline or ultimately successful recovery.
