Abstract

Summary: We report an improved vector, pCAGGS‐FLPe, for transient expression of the enhanced FLP recombinase in mouse ES cells and oocytes. In standard transfection experiments, about 6% of total ES colonies showed FLP recombination, albeit with mosaicism within each colony. After microinjection of pCAGGS‐FLPe into oocytes, about one‐third of heterozygotic mice born showed complete FLP recombination. Thus pCAGGS‐FLPe presents two practical options for removal of FRT cassettes in mice. genesis 31:6–10, 2001. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Please note the correction to the above article: The red fluorescent protein used for the results in the above article was erroneously designated ''DsRed.T3.'' The correct name of the variant is DsRed-MST. DsRed-MST differs from DsRed.T3 in two amino acids. It has Alanine at positions 145 and 217. W
