![]() | Capecchi, Mario R. | Paralogous mouse Hox genes, Hoxa9, Hoxb9, and Hoxd9, function together to control development of the mammary gland in response to pregnancy. | Although the role of Hox genes in patterning the mammalian body plan has been studied extensively during embryonic and fetal development, relatively little is known concerning Hox gene function in adult animals. Analysis of mice with mutant Hoxa9, Hoxb9, and Hoxd9 genes shows that these paralogous g... | Embryonic and Fetal Development; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Genotype; Mice, Knockout | 1999-01 |

![]() | 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. | Targeted mutations in hoxa-9 and hoxb-9 reveal synergistic interactions. | Mice were generated with a targeted disruption of the homeobox-containing gene hoxb-9. Mice homozygous for this mutation show defects in the development of the first and second ribs. In most cases the first and second ribs are fused near the point at which the first and second pairs of ribs normally... | Embryonic and Fetal Development; In Situ Hybridization; Mice, Knockout | 1997-01-15 |
