Abstract excerpt
FVB/N mice are one of the most common inbred strains for the generation of transgenic animals. This mouse strain is preferred for transgenesis because of its fertilized oocytes, which have unique pronuclei for microinjection, and its vigorous reproductive performance along with consistently large litter sizes. However, these inbred mice carry a retinal degeneration mutation caused by a proviral insertion into the...
