“The linearized targeting construct was introduced by electroporation into C57BL/6-derived JN/2 recombinant embryonic stem cell (ESC) and neomycin-resistant clones were first screened for homologous recombination by PCR utilizing a pair of the following oligonucleotides: Primer 1 (5′-ATA TGT AGT GTC TGG TCA GGA TAA TAG TTG-3′) and Primer 2 (5′-ATA ACC TCC TCT CCT ATG GTA CCT AAA C-3′).”

“Transmission of the targeted allele was confirmed by PCR with Primer 1 and Primer 3 (5′-CTT TAT ATT TCA TTT TTG CTC AGG CTT C-3′). The mutant mice were cross-mated for more than nine generations with B6.FLIP mice to excise the flanked FRT sites by Flp-recombinase, and 8- to 12-week-old Cd103+/+ littermates were used as WT mice. Then, Cd103+/−  littermates were crossed to obtain homozygotes, and transmission of the targeted allele was confirmed by PCR with Primer 1 and Primer 3.”
