H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell lineTT2 [(C57BL/6NCrlj x CBA/JNCrlj)F1]
Background strainBALB/cCrSlc
Appearancealbino [A/A b/b c/c]
Strain developmentDeveloped by Drs Ryo Iwamoto, Eisuke Mekada et al., at Osaka University in 2003.The HB-EGF null mice were generated by crossing with CAG-Cre transgenic mice.
Strain descriptionHbegf, heparin-binding EGF like growth factor is a member of the EGF family of growth factor. This protein binds to and activates the EGF receptor. Homozygous mutant mice exhibit grossly enlarged cardiac valves and ventricular chambers. Most homozygous mutant mice die by 3 weeks of age. LacZ gene is expressed under the native HB-EGF promoter to examine the expression pattern of the HB-EGF histologically.
Colony maintenanceBackcross to BALB/c (Heterozygote x BALB/cCrSlc)Most homozygous mutant mice were die by 3 weeks of age.
