Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Species laboratory mouse Background Strain C57BL/6J Donor Strain 129X1 x 129S1 via R1 (+Kitl-SlJ) ES cell line Generation N?+12p (07-NOV-04) Donating Investigator IMR Colony, The Jackson Laboratory Appearance
black
Related Genotype: a/aDescription
Mice homozygous for the Kdrtm1Jrt targeted mutation (formerly called Flk1) die at ~E8.5-E9.5 due to defects in hematopoietic and endothelial development. Embryos lack blood islands at E7.5 and fail to form organized blood vessels. There is severe reduction in hematopoietic progenitor cells.Development
This strain was developed in the lab of Dr. Janet Rossant at the University of Toronto. The insertion vector contains lacZ and neo.
