Knockout Mouse Models
A knockout mouse is a mouse in which an existing gene has been inactivated, or “knocked out,” by deleting portions of the gene’s DNA sequence to make it nonfunctional, or by replacing the gene with an altered DNA sequence.

The target region is deleted or replaced with a reporter gene. The targeted gene is thus inactivated at all times, in all tissues.
The target region is flanked by loxP sites (“floxed”) to facilitate Cre recombinase-mediated excision, leading to tissue-specific gene inactivation.

“iTL recently produced a new knockout model for us from a KOMP targeting vector (knockout first, conditional potential). The entire process was extremely efficient and the staff at iTL were both knowledgeable and helpful. We chose iTL because of their cost-effective service and their guarantee of germline transmission when using a KOMP targeting vector. Now that the project is complete, I would definitely use their services again in the future and would recommend them highly to anyone looking to create a new mouse model.”
