Il10ra^tm1.1Tlg

An FRT flanked PGK neo resistance cassette was inserted in intron 2 and loxP sites were inserted flanking exon 3. Subsequent expression of flp recombinase removed the selection cassette leaving exon 3 flanked by loxP sites. Exon 3 contains much of the Il10 interacting domain. Genomic loss of exon 3 was observed in T cells expressing cre under the control of the Cd4 promoter by PCR analysis. (J:189797)
