A LoxP-nlacZ-4XPolyA-LoxP-H2B-GFP-FRT-Neo-FRT cassette was targeted to the start codon of kit locus with disruption of endogenous ATG by homologous recombination in ES cells. Flp-mediated recombination removed the neo selection cassette, leaving a single FRT site behind. Resulting mouse line was crossed with Cre expressing mice to remove nlacZ and 4xPloyA stop cassette.
