Identification of a polymorphic microsatellite marker in the mouse Fas ligand gene

Eur J Immunogenet. 2001 Oct;28(5):553-5. doi: 10.1046/j.0960-7420.2001.00249.x.

Abstract

We describe the characterization of a polymorphic microsatellite marker, located 1.8 kb downstream of exon 4 in the mouse Fas ligand gene. This (GT) repeat sequence allows the identification of four alleles which can very easily be distinguished by simple agarose electrophoresis.
