heterozygous RAG mice - (Dec/15/2010 )

Hi there,

I was wondering if anybody knows if heterozygous RAG mice as well show a phenotype or if they can be considered as "wild-types"?

Thanks very much in advance.
Cheers!

They aren't technically wild-types since they are +/-. True wild-types are always +/+. However you can probably still use the hets as a control group.... depends on the details of your research.
