Type Coisogenic; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Dr. Tyler Jacks, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Description
This targeted mutant strain carries a loxP-flanked stop element in exon 1 and a G12D activating mutation in exon 2 of the neuroblastoma ras oncogene (Nras). This mutation functions as a null allele and has no apparent phenotype. Homozygotes are viable. Cre mediated excision of the floxed stop element causes a significant increase in GTP-bound N-Ras production. This conditional mutant strain may be helpful in further studies of this oncogene.For example, when crossed to a strain expressing Cre recombinase in epiblast and ectoderm-derived tissues (see Stock No. 003755), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of the role of NRAS in leukemogenesis.
When crossed to a strain expressing interferon-induced Cre recombinase (see Stock No. 003556), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of leukemia.
Development
A targeting vector was designed to include a lox-stop-lox element in intron 1 (to suppress expression in the absence of Cre recombinase) and a G12D activating mutation in exon 2. The vector was intoduced into V6.5 or V26.2 C57BL/6-derived embryonic stem cells. This strain has been maintained on a C57BL/6 background.
