Abstract excerpt
We have introduced the floxed allele of Smoothened (Smo) carried by the mouse line Smotm2Amc into the C57BL/6J strain by serial backcross. Recapitulation of the Smo null phenotype was confirmed by deleting the allele using E2a-cre and intercrossing heterozygous Smo ± mice. No homozygous mutant embryos were identified at E9.5, suggesting the null phenotype is at least as severe as that observed on a mixed genetic...
