Depositor Comments

Conditional mutant alleles of p53 were generated by introducing the LoxP-flanked transcriptional STOP cassette into intron 1 of the p53 gene. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to introduce an arg→his mutation at codon 172.

Note: This is a large plasmid that can undergo recombination. Bacterial colonies will grow slowly. If there are different colony sizes on a plate, the smaller ones are more likely to contain the correct plasmid.
