RAG2

Model Description

Partial exon 3 of Rag2 gene was deleted to generate Rag2 knockout mice. Deletion of this region will cause frameshift and result in loss of function of mouse Rag2 gene.

Research Application：Immunodeficiency,tumor-bearing model

Disease Connection

Ulcerative Colitis

Phenotype(s)

MGI:4360989
Note：The expected phenotype(s) may be observed in the above-mentioned mice that bred with Tbx21-KO(NM-KO-190157) mice.
