Mammalian Genetic Manipulation Flashcards
1
Q
Chimera
A
Cell populations from multiple embryos (Inject ES to blastocyst)
2
Q
Cre-Lox System
A
Tissue specific gene targeting.
Tissues specific promoter and Cre-recombinase (enzyme only made in certain tissue).
Will interact with floxed GOI to knock it out.
3
Q
Floxed Gene
A
Has LoxP flanking sequence and is removed as circular DNA due to action of Cre recombinase.
4
Q
Homologous Recombination
A
Similar genetic material. Inactivate gene X. Only NEO is present (resistant to G418) TK has been lost from end (resistant to Ganciclovir) Live Cells
5
Q
Heterologous Recombination
A
Different genetic material. Random integration.
Neo and Tk present (G418 resistant, Ganciclovir sensitive)
Dead Cells
6
Q
Inner Mass Cells Fate
A
Become ES cells
