Immunodeficiency: Trapping the nude mouse gene
Hairless nude mice are immunodeficient because they lack a thymus. The nude gene has now been identified; it encodes a winged-helix transcription factor that is expressed specifically in skin and thymus.
متن کاملTargeted gene trapping in mouse ES cells
Roland Friedel et al. report a method allowing efficient generation of targeted gene knockouts by homologous recombination in mouse ES cells. Current gene targeting techniques use vectors with a strong promoter to drive expression of a selectable antibiotic resistance marker, but such methods usually yield low homologous recombination frequencies because nonhomologous insertions (false positive...
متن کاملFOXN1 deficient nude severe combined immunodeficiency
Nude severe combined immunodeficiency is a rare inherited disease caused by autosomal recessive loss-of-function mutations in FOXN1. This gene encodes a transcription factor essential for the development of the thymus, the primary lymphoid organ that supports T-cell development and selection. To date nine cases have been reported presenting with the clinical triad of absent thymus resulting in ...
متن کاملEnhanced gene trapping in mouse embryonic stem cells
Gene trapping is used to introduce insertional mutations into genes of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). It is performed with gene trap vectors that simultaneously mutate and report the expression of the endogenous gene at the site of insertion and provide a DNA tag for rapid identification of the disrupted gene. Gene traps have been employed worldwide to assemble libraries of mouse ESC lines ...
متن کاملGATA6 is an astrocytoma tumor suppressor gene identified by gene trapping of mouse glioma model.
Malignant astrocytomas are the most common and lethal adult primary brain tumor. Retroviral gene trapping of nontransformed neonatal astrocytes from a glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP):(V12)Ha-Ras murine astrocytoma model led to isolation of the transcription factor Gata6. Loss of Gata6 resulted in enhanced proliferation and transformation of astrocytes. Human malignant astrocytoma cell li...
