BRC No.RBRC10053
TypeTargeted Mutation CongenicCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameB6(Cg)-Aqp4<tm1.1Tsna>
Former Common nameAQP4 KO, Aqp4-
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell lineRENKA [C57BL/6NCrlCrlj]
Background strain
Appearance
Strain developmentDeveloped by Mika Tsujita, Brain Research Institute, Niigata University. RENKA ES cells derived from C57BL/6 were used to generate a strain (RBRC10054) harboring a floxed Aqp4 allele with the neo resistance gene. By crossing with a TLCN Cre mouse strain, exon 2, 3 and neo were deleted. C57BL/6 genetic background.
Strain descriptionAqp4 (aquaporin 4) knockout mice.
