Automated sorting of genetically engineered embryonic stem cells for generation of mouse models

Abstract

Although genetically modified mice have huge potential for the analysis of gene function, the creation of such mice via homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is a tedious process. A combination of the CytoClone™ system from Evotec Technologies for cell selection with the ArteMice™ platform from Artemis Pharmaceuticals for rapid generation of genetically modified mouse models from engineered ESCs offers a fast and gentle way to isolate such cells.
