The allele was generated using a dual recombinase-mediated cassette exchange protocol. The exchange vector contained (from 5' to 3') an frt site, a viral F2A oligopeptide (to mediate ribosomal skipping), an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) seqe, a viral T2A oligopeptide, and a cre/ERT2 sequence. A rox-flanked puromycin resistance (puro) cassette and a loxP site were inserted at the 3' end of the exchange vector. (J:159099)
