Strain Information

Name CP198   View On Wormbase
Species C. briggsae
GenotypeCbr-msrp-3(nm77[HA::Cbr-msrp-3]) I.
Descriptionnm77 is an HA epitope tag inserted into the endogenous Cbr-msrp-3 locus, two codons after the predicted signal peptide cleavage site of Cbr-MSRP-3. Anti-HA antibodies recognize the tagged Cbr-MSRP-3 glycoprotein on immunoblots, in the membranous organelles of spermatids, and on the plasma membrane of activated sperm (including pseudopod) in both males and hermaphrodites. To confirm presence of the nm77 insertion, use primers AT19+AT20 (WT: 291 nt, nm77: 318 nt). AT19: AAGAAGAGAGAAACCAGAAGC. AT20: AAAAGTAAAACATACCGATCACA. Reference: Van Goor J, et al.
