Fig. 1. Targeted disruption of maspin. (A) Targeting strategy. Homologous
recombination replaces the seventh exon with the neomycin resistance (neo)
gene. Note the change of SacI (S1) into BamHI in the
construct. Restriction site are (S1) SacI; (Xh1) XhoI; (K1)
KpnI; (B1) BamHI; (Xb) XbaI; (Sa1) SalI.
(B) Southern blot analysis of Mp+/+ and
Mp+/ ES cells. The genomic DNAs were digested with
a SacI enzyme and the blot was probed with 32P-labeled
SacI-SacI fragment (3.6 kb). The 3.6 kb band was from the
wild-type allele. A novel 12 kb band indicated the presence of the targeted
allele. (C) RT-PCR analysis of maspin mRNA expression in
Mp+/+ and Mp/ embryoid
bodies.
