Abstract excerpt
We have used gene targeting in embryonic stem cells to introduce an HPRT mini-gene into the coding sequence of the murine cystic fibrosis gene (cftr). This insertion introduces a termination codon in frame with the cftr coding sequence to terminate prematurely the CFTR protein within the first nu...
