Abstract
We have constructed a hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase-selectable marker (hprt) under the control of the phosphoglycerate kinase (pgk) promoter. This construct permits cell growth in hypoxanthine/aminopterin/thymidine media and confers 6-thioguanine sensitivity upon mouse Hprt- embryonic stem cells, allowing either positive or negative selection in gene-targeting experiments. We have successfully targeted the gene encoding the T-cell receptor delta-chain using the pgk::hprt fusion for counterselection.Entities:
