Gene Targeting Strategy

Gene targeting strategy for B-hEGFR mice. The exons 2-17 of mouse Egfr gene that encode the extracellular domain were replaced by human EGFR exons 2-17 in B-hEGFR mice.

mRNA expression analysis


Strain specific analysis of EGFR gene expression in wild type (WT) mice and B-hEGFR mice by RT-PCR. Mouse Egfr mRNA was detectable only in liver of WT mice (+/+). Human EGFR mRNA was detectable only in homozygous B-hEGFR mice (H/H) but not in WT mice (+/+).
