1. XPA (+/-) 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
2. XPA (+/-) 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....

5. ERCC-1 (+/-) 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....
