Overview

Nomenclature: B6.129P2-Cdkn2atm2Brn/A

  • Contains a targeted mutation of Cdkn2a (Ink4a/Arf) which introduced LoxP sites upstream of exon 2 and downstream of exon 3.
  • Cross with the tissue-specific Cre of your choice to develop a tumor model
  • The cell cycle inhibitory protein Cdkn2a is frequently disrupted in various types of human cancer, and germline mutations of this locus can confer susceptibility to melanoma and other tumors.
  • After deletion of the gene via crossing to a tissue-specific Cre line, mice can develop tumors, giving rise to various sarcomas, carcinomas, lymphomas, and metastatic melanoma

Origin

The Floxed Ink4a/Arf Mouse was developed in 2001 in the laboratory of Dr. Anton Berns of the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI). The Cdkn2a mutation was generated by insertion of loxP sites 1 kb upstream of Ink4a exon 2 and 1.5 kb downstream of exon 3. Targeted IB10 (129/Ola) embryonic stem cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts and resulting chimeras were crossed with FVB/N mice. Sibling progeny were crossed to generate Cdkn2a homozygous floxed mice. The line was backcrossed to C57BL/6/J. Taconic received stock in 2011. The line was derived by embryo transfer and was maintained by incrossing mice homozygous for the floxed allele.

This model is cryopreserved and available for recovery. Models can typically be recovered and delivered to customers within 12 weeks after order receipt. Purchase of this model includes perpetual use rights and a deliverable of four mutant animals at the Murine Pathogen Free™ health standard along with a genotyping protocol. For models which include a recombinase gene or multiple alleles, all alleles will be provided, but individual animals may not contain all mutant alleles.
