NCBI Gene ID
-
Gene targeting strategy
-
Gene targeting strategy for B-hBCMA mice. Exon 1 and part of exon 2, which encode the extracellular region of mouse Bcma gene, were replaced with human BCMA exon 1 and part of exon 2 in B-hBCMA mice.
-
mRNA expression analysis
-
Strain specific analysis of BCMA gene expression in wild-type C57BL/6 mice and B-hBCMA mice by RT-PCR. Mouse Bcma mRNA was detectable in splenocytes of wild-type C57BL/6 mice (+/+) but not in homozygous B-hBCMA mice (H/H). Human BCMA mRNA was detectable only in homozygous B-hBCMA mice but not in wild-type C57BL/6 mice.
