  • The targeting vector has been generated using C57BL/6J DNA and transfected into TaconicArtemis C57BL/6N Tac ES cell line.
  • Irf5 exon 1 contains the translation initiation codon.
  • Exons 3 to 9 have been flanked by loxP sites (size of loxP-flanked region 4.2 kb).
  • A polyadenylation signal (hGHpA: human Growth Hormone polyadenylation signal) has been inserted 3' of the Irf5 gene in order to prevent downstream transcription in the constitutive KO allele.
  • The constitutive KO allele has been generated after Cre-mediated recombination by crossing chimeras to a Cre-Deleter on a C57BL/6 background.
  • The constitutive KO line has been derived using C57BL/6NTac animals and the Cre-transgene was removed by segregation.
  • Deletion of exons 3 to 9 should result in loss of function of the Irf5 gene by removing most of the gene. After Cre-mediated deletion of exons 3 to 9, the hGHpA cassette should prevent downstream transcription.
  • The remaining recombination sites are located in non-conserved regions of the genome.
  • The corresponding conditional KO allele is available as line 12646.
  • Datamining and Design performed in 2012.

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.
Customers may purchase this model by signing the appropriate Terms of Sale (below) and providing a PO. The GEM Collection Commercial and Academic Terms of Sale grant perpetual use rights.
