Abstract excerpt
Gene-trap mutagenesis is based on the notion that the random insertion of a trapping vector may disturb the function of inserted genes. Here, we applied this method to murine mesenchymal ATDC5 cells, which differentiate into mature chondrocytes in the presence of insulin. As the trap vector we used pPT1-geo, which lacks its own promoter and enhancer, but contains a lacZ-neo fusion gene as a reporter and selection...
