Spink3 KO - Tg Psti1

Full name (if applicable): 

Strain: 

B6.Spink3-/- -Tg(Cela-Spink3)#Rali

Description: 

Obtained from mating Spink+/- with Tg(Psti1) and subsequently Spink-/--Tg(Psti1) males with Spink-/--Tg(Psti1) females.

Model type: 

-          Spink-/-: was derived from gene targeting in mouse embryonic stem cells by insertion of a PGK-neo cassette in exon 1 in front of the initiation codon.  Spink-/- is not viable; mice die before 1 week of age.

-          Tg(Psti1) also known as Tg(Cela1-Spink3)#Rali rescues the Spink-/- phenotype.  The Spink-/--Tg(Psti1) have normal phenotype.

Genetic background: 

C57BL/6
