EXPERIMENTAL MODELS

Contributor Information
- Name Franz Radner
- Institute University of Graz
Tool Details
- Tool name: G0S2-flox mouse
- Alternate names: G0/G1 swithc gene 2
- Tool type: Experimental models
- Tool sub-type: Mouse
- Model: Knock-Out
- Conditional: Yes
- Conditional description: Flox flanked gene ready for deletion
- Genetic background and cross history: These mice were generated using HM1-ES cells. ES cell clones were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts to enable coat colour selection of the chimeras. Mice were subsequently backcrossed to C57BL/6J (âĽÂ 10 generations). When kept as a homozygous colony, mice are backcrossed regularly to C57BL/6J to avoid generation of subpopulations.
- Phenotype: These mice are conditional ready, and phenotypical identical to C57BL/6J mice.
- Zygosity: Homozygous
- Strain: C57BL/6J
- Description: seful model for the generation of tissue/cell specific G0S2-deficient mice. Animals might be useful for studies, e.g.on energy metabolism or oncology.
- Research area: Cancer; Metabolism; Cell biology; Apoptosis and autophagy
- Production details: The whole G0s2 gene sequence was targeted and flanked by loxP sites. Further details are available upon request.
- Breeding information: Good breeder. Homozygous mice may be bred together to maintain a live colony.
