Use of double-replacement gene targeting to replace the murine α-lactalbumin gene with its human counterpart in embryonic stem cells and mice

A Stacey, A Schnieke, J McWhir, J Cooper… - … and cellular biology, 1994 - Am Soc Microbiol

rounds of gene targeting in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT)-deficient …

Deletion and replacement of the mouse adult β-globin genes by a “plug and socket” repeated targeting strategy

PJ Detloff, J Lewis, SWM John… - … and cellular biology, 1994 - Taylor & Francis
We describe a two-step strategy to alter any mouse locus repeatedly and efficiently by direct
positive selection. Using conventional targeting for the first step, a functional neo gene and a …

High-fidelity gene targeting in embryonic stem cells by using sequence replacement vectors

KR Thomas, C Deng, MR Capecchi - Molecular and cellular …, 1992 - Taylor & Francis
Mutations were targeted to the Hprt locus in murine embryonic stem cells by using sequence
replacement vectors. When the vector was designed such that the mutated sequences were …

Testing an “in-out” targeting procedure for making subtle genomic modifications in mouse embryonic stem cells

V Valancius, O Smithies - Molecular and cellular biology, 1991 - Am Soc Microbiol
We have introduced a 4-bp insertion into the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase
(HPRT) gene of a mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell line by using an “in-out” targeting …

Tissue-specific expression of a BAC transgene targeted to the Hprt locus in mouse embryonic stem cells

JD Heaney, AN Rettew, SK Bronson - Genomics, 2004 - Elsevier
The hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (Hprt) locus has been shown to have minimal
influence on transgene expression when used as a surrogate site in the mouse genome. We …

Site-directed mutagenesis by gene targeting in mouse embryo-derived stem cells

KR Thomas, MR Capecchi - Cell, 1987 - cell.com

Reexamination of gene targeting frequency as a function of the extent of homology between the targeting vector and the target locus

C Deng, MR Capecchi - Molecular and cellular biology, 1992 - Am Soc Microbiol
