title: Target screening by PCR.
abstract: After the stable transfection of the knockout vector, the transfectants successful for targeted integration can be screened by PCR. A primer located upstream of the 5' targeting arm of the construct can be used for this PCR together with a primer from the resistance marker. PCR screening is more advantageous than Southern screening not only for speed but also for scaling up the screening.
