Knock-In of R33Q CASQ2 in Mouse Model
NonHumanModel Mus Musculus
GeneAlteration The knock-in strain was generated by homologous recombination of the targeting vector with 129Sv/J embryonic stem cells genome. A 450-bp DNA segment encompassing 5′ UTR and exon 1 of the CASQ2 was used to screen RPCI-21 PAC mouse genomic library. Positive clones were sequenced to define the structure of an 8.5-Kb region encompassing promoter, exon 1, and part of intron 1 of mouse CASQ2. This region was cloned in 3 parts and assembled into the targeting vector pFlrt (supplemental Figure I). The linearized targeting vector was electroporated into 129Sv/J embryonic stem cells. The clone selected with G418 and gancyclovir was injected into C57BL/6NCrL blastocyts and transferred to pseudopregnant CD-1 females. Genotype was determined by sequencing of DNA extracted from tail biopsy specimens (DNasy Tissue Kit, Qiagen).
