We developed a novel gene replacement method by using two steps of homologous recombination. We chose the 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HT) 1B receptor as a target gene. We constructed a targeting vector containing a cassette of the neo® and HSV-tk genes (neo-tk cassette) at the central part of the targeting vector. ES cells were electroporated by the first targeting vector containing the neo-tk cassette which confers the G418 resistance and GANC sensitivity. The targeted cells were selected with G418 alone and determined by Southern blot analyses. Then we replaced this targeted allele with the second targeting vector and by the GANC selection. With this method, we isolated an ES cell line, in which the 355th amino-acid, Arginine, was replaced to the human type gene, Threonine. This single amino-acid confers the major pharmacological differences between human and mouse 5-HT receptor. The established ES cell line does not carry any selectable marker genes, the neoR and HSV-tk genes, after all. In spite of the two steps of gene targeting and many passages, the ES cells are still able to transmit the replaced allele to the offspring through germ-line chimeras.
