BRC No.RBRC04742
TypeTargeted MutationCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameC.B6CB-Ltb4r2<tm1Tksh>
Former Common nameBALB-BLT2 KO
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell lineTT2 [(C57BL/6NCrlj x CBA/JNCrlj)F1]
Background strainBALB/cCrSlc
Appearance
Strain developmentDeveloped by Dr. Takao Shimizu, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tokyo in 2005. A lacZ-neo was inserted into the protein coding region of Ltb4r2 gene (Expression of lacZ was not detected). The mutant mice were backcrossed to BALB/c.
