Abstract excerpt
Most gene-targeted mice are produced on a mixed genetic background of C57BL/6 and substrains of 129/Sv. Mating chimeric mice containing 129/Sv-derived embryonic stem cells that are wild type at the agouti locus (A) in a nonagouti (a) donor genetic background with inbred C57BL/6 mice that are homozygous for the nonagouti allele allows the use of coat color to detect germline transmission. Agouti pups from such a...
