Inventor(s): Mak; Tak Wah (Toronto, CA), Penninger; Josef Martin (Toronto, CA)
Assignee: University Health Network (Toronto, CA)
Application Number:08/451,318
Patent Claims:1. A mutant mouse wherein its endogenous CD45 gene has been disrupted using a DNA construct comprising exons 6-8 of the CD45 gene, wherein a marker sequence has been substituted for at least intron 6 and exon 6, and wherein disruption prevents expression of CD45 on B-cells and T-cells and results in a decreased cytotoxic T-cell response.

2. The mutant mouse of claim 1 wherein the marker sequence is the neo DNA sequence.

3. The mouse of claim 1 that further contains a transgene, wherein the transgene comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding the CD45RO isoform.

4. The mutant mouse of claim 3 wherein the marker sequence is the neo DNA sequence.
