Mapt Conditional Knockout mouse models
Mapt conditional knockout mice carry a floxed allele so you delete function only where Cre recombinase is active. This design keeps the germline allele intact until you cross to a tissue specific Cre. It is often the first choice when a global knockout is lethal, when you need adult onset loss, or when regional redundancy masks a whole body phenotype.
Catalog table
Conditional knockout keeps your target tissue as the experimental theater while the rest of the animal retains a wild type allele. That pattern mirrors somatic mutation in patients and avoids systemic compensation that can erase subtle phenotypes. It is often preferred when a germline null is lethal, weak, or confounded by developmental rescue.
Conditional knockout keeps liver as the experimental theater while the rest of the animal retains a wild type allele. That pattern mirrors somatic mutation in patients and avoids systemic compensation that can erase subtle phenotypes. It is often preferred when a germline null is lethal, weak, or confounded by developmental rescue.

FAQ
Is Mapt knockout embryonic lethal in mice?
Lethality depends on genetic background and exact allele design. Some Mapt germline knockouts are viable, others require conditional alleles or mixed backgrounds. We review publications and our own experience, then recommend floxed versus null approaches before you commit.
Which Cre driver is best for experiments?
Driver choice depends on onset timing, recombination efficiency, and known leak patterns. We map your organ and cell type to a short list of proven Cre lines, then discuss reporter crosses and controls. We prioritize drivers with strong community validation for your tissue.
Do you ship live Mapt animals?
When catalog lines are live, we ship with health certificates and QC documentation. If your exact combo is not listed, we quote a model generation project with cryo or live dispatch options depending on cohort timing and geography.
How do I request a quote for Mapt?
Use the catalog inquire buttons or the request quote form with your allele goal, Cre plan if any, strain background, and cohort size. A PhD led team responds with pricing, milestones, and the fastest path to experimental animals.
