Fig. 4. Transgene correction of the Bst phenotype. (A) BAC clone
RP23-10L10 (blue) contains Rpl24 and five other genes, and spans 181
kb (Ensembl mouse genome database, v. 12.3.1). (B) Founder Tg321 carries an
intact RP23-10L10 transgene, which suppresses external Bst phenotypes
in all doubly heterozygous offspring (compare mice 4514 and 4516 with 4515).
Genotypes were determined using BAC end (red) and allele-specific
Rpl24 PCRs. (C) Correction data summary. Four BAC transgenic founders
were mated to C57BLKS Bst/+ mice. Tg321 and Tg326, which are intact,
correct Bst phenotypes but Tg898 or Tg901, which lack Rpl24,
do not. (D) Human RPL24 transgene (R26-huL24). The cDNA is
ubiquitously expressed using the murine ROSA26 promoter.
