Nkx2.2{Cherry} mouse ESC line A mouse ESC line in which part or all of the targeted gene, NK2 transcription factor related, locus 2 (NCBI Gene ID: 18088) is replaced to create Cherry using the Loxed Cassette Acceptor allele Nkx2.2{tm1(LCA)}). In this ES cell, 1.956 kb of the native Nkx2.2 gene, containing a portion of exon 1 (all but the first 214 bp) and all of exon 2, was replaced by the mCherry cassette in frame to the Nkx2.2 ATG. This allows for sites of Nkx2.2 gene expression in the mouse to be identified using direct immunofluorescence and FACS purification of Nkx2.2 expressing cells. Person: Mark A.
