Cartpt^{tm1.1(cre)Hze}

The targeting vector contains, from 5' to 3', a partial Cartpt sequence spanning exon 1 through intron 2, an FRT3 site within Cartpt intron 2, a partial Cartpt exon 3 sequence up to and including the endogenous stop codon, an internal ribosome entry site 2 (IRES2) sequence (allows translation initiation in the middle of an mRNA sequence), a Cre recombinase gene, a bovine growth hormone polyA sequence, an AttB site, a PGK promoter-Neomycin resistance gene-PGK polyA cassette, an FRT5 site, an mRNA splice acceptor sequence, the 3' portion of the hygromycin gene (Hygro2) with SV40 late polyA signal, and an AttP site. PhiC31-mediated recombination removed the AttB/AttP-flanked sequence (PGK-Neo-polyA::frt5::RNA splice acceptor::3'hygro-polyA) and replaced it with the recombined AttB/AttP site (AttL). (J:146821)
