  • Model for von Hippel-Lindau disease
    Patent number: H2056
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are nucleic acid molecules that can be used to effect a loss of function of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) allele in somatic and/or germ cells of a mammal and methods for using these molecules to create conditional VHL gene targeted and conditional VHL knockout animals. Disclosed herein are conditional VHL gene target vectors which, when inserted into an endogenous VHL gene, can result in deletion of an exon of a VHL gene by site-specific recombinaton when a recombinase is expressed conditionally.
