Conditional-ready allele using targeted substitution in the C1qbp gene (aka p32 gene): an FRT-flanked neomycin resistance cassette with a 3' loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 3. An additional loxP site was inserted downstream of exon 3. Flp-mediated recombination removed the selection cassette; Cre-mediated recombination deleted exon 3.
The development is based on unspecified ESCs derived from 129S6/SvEvTac. Male chimeric mice were mated to C57BL/6J females and resulted in heterozygous agouti mice. The heterozygous F1 agouti females were mated to B6N.129S4-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(FLP1)Dym/J (RRID:IMSR_JAX:016226) male to delete the neo cassette. Crossing to B6.FVB-Tg(EIIa-cre)C5379Lmgd/J (RRID:IMSR_JAX:003724) was used to knock out the gene. p32 heterozygous (neo-) males were used to initiate five backcrosses to C57BL/6J mice with selected deletion of the p32 allele. Maintenance on C57BL/6J background to N12 thereafter.
