  • Title: Generation of C57BL/6 knockout mice using C3H x BALB/c blastocysts.
    Author: Pacholczyk G, Suhag R, Mazurek M, Dederscheck SM, Koni PA.
    Journal: Biotechniques; 2008 Mar; 44(3):413-6. PubMed ID: 18361795.
    Abstract:
    The International Mouse Knockout Consortium aims to generate a knockout mouse for every single gene on a C57BL/6 background. Our ability to generate such mice is hampered by the poor economics of producing blastocysts to achieve germline transmission of C57BL/6 embryonic stem (ES) cells. We demonstrate superior utility of (C3H x BALB/c)F1 blastocysts compared with BALB/c blastocysts, with blastocyst numbers and germline transmission from subsequent chimeras at a rate 2- to 3-fold higher than that produced with BALB/c blastocysts.
