LoxP sites flank exon 2. The L1L2_Bact_P cassette was inserted at position 87433089 of Chromosome 6 upstream of the critical exon(s) (Build GRCm38). The cassette is composed of an FRT site followed by lacZ sequence and a loxP site. This first loxP site is followed by a neomycin resistance gene under the control of the human beta-actin promoter, SV40 polyA, a second FRT site and a second loxP site. A third loxP site is inserted downstream of the targeted exon(s) at position 87434716. The critical exon(s) is/are thus flanked by loxP sites.A null/knockout allele was created by flp and cre recombinase expression in mice carrying this allele to remove the lacZ sequence, neo selection cassette and the loxP-flanked critical exon(s).
