title: Rapid genotyping of low density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice using a polymerase chain reaction technique.
abstract: A new method for the rapid genotyping of low density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice is described. This method using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique may be performed on small tissue biopsies, and represents a significant advantage in time over conventional genotyping by Southern blot analyses.
