| Research Abstract |
To investigate the function of claudin (Cld)-3, 4 in thymic epithelial cells, we first madesingle KO mice for each gene. There was no obvious defect in each single KO mice; thus we next tried to make double KO mice. Since the distance of each gene on genome is only 40Kbp, we made a strategy in which Cld3 Tg vector was introduced into Cld4KO ES cells. We have succeded in making double KO mice and now are analyzing the phenotypes on thymic organogenesis and T cell development.
