Failure to show either obvious physical abnormalities or pathological alterations in mice High susceptibility to ultraviolet beta or 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene-induced skin carcinogenesis Defective in nucleotide-excision repair
Normal appearance until age of 13 months High susceptibility to ultraviolet beta-induced skin and eye tumors and to 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene-induced skin tumors
The targeting construct MMXPA#5 comprises ~10 kb of the mouse xeroderma pigmentosum (XPA) gene (Ola129-derived DNA). After digestion of a genomic 5.5-kb BamHI
For construction of a targeting vector, a 5.7-kb BamHI XPA genomic fragment containing exons 3 and 4 was subcloned into a pUC19 plasmid. The 1.1-kb XhoI....

PCR was used to isolate the exon 4-6 region of the excision repair cross complementing gene (ERCC-1) from ES cell DNA as a 2.3 kb fragment that was cloned into pBluescri....
