Capecchi, Mario R. | Fundamental cellular processes do not require vertebrate-specific sequences within the TATA-binding protein. | The 180-amino acid core of the TATA-binding protein (TBPcore) is conserved from Archae bacteria to man. Vertebrate TBPs contain, in addition, a large and highly conserved N-terminal region that is not found in other phyla. We have generated a line of mice in which the tbp allele is replaced with a v... | Mice, Knockout; Cells, Cultured; Fibroblasts; Embryo | 2003-02-21 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | In vivo and in vitro tissue-specific expression of green fluorescent protein using the cre-lox system in mouse embryonic stem cells. | Embryonic stem cells (ES) are pluripotent and may therefore serve as a source for the generation of specific cell types required for future therapies based on cell replacement. The isolation of defined cell populations from a certain lineage or tissue is a prerequisite for the analysis of the potent... | Animals; Cell Differentiation; Cells, Cultured; Gene Transfer Techniques; Mice, Transgenic | 2005-10-23 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Expression of a microinjected porcine class I major histocompatibility complex gene in transgenic mice. | A porcine class I major histocompatibility complex (SLA) gene has been introduced into the genome of a C57BL/10 mouse. This transgenic mouse expressed SLA antigen on its cell surfaces and transmitted the gene to offspring, in which the gene is also expressed. Skin grafts of such transgenic mice were... | Genetic Engineering; Graft Rejection; Mice, Inbred C57BL | 1985-05-03 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Removing the vertebrate-specific TBP N terminus disrupts placental beta2m-dependent interactions with the maternal immune system | Mammalian TBP consists of a 180 amino acid core that is common to all eukaryotes, fused to a vertebrate-specific N-terminal domain. We generated mice having a modified tbp allele, tbp(DeltaN), that produces a version of TBP lacking 111 of the 135 vertebrate-specific amino acids. Most tbp(DeltaN/Delt... | Alleles; Animals, Genetically Modified; Binding Sites; Embryonic and Fetal Development; Evolution, Molecular; Female; Fetus; Immune Tolerance; Male; Mice; Mutation; ATA-Box Binding Protein | 2002-07-12 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Hox10 and Hox11 genes are required to globally pattern the mammalian skeleton. | Mice in which all members of the Hox10 or Hox11 paralogous group are disrupted provide evidence that these Hox genes are involved in global patterning of the axial and appendicular skeleton. In the absence of Hox10 function, no lumbar vertebrae are formed. Instead, ribs project from all posterior ve... | Alleles; Animals; Forelimb; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Hindlimb | 2003-07-18 |
