10. 6 targeted ES cells were transfected with 20 μg of supercoiled pMC-CreN plasmid (a gift of H. Gu) that was optimized for efficient nuclear localization. After 10 days, resistant clones were screened by PCR. Cre-mediated recombination led to a small (Fig. 1D) and a large (Fig. 1E) deletion. The latter event was preferred with a ratio of 9:1 to the small deletion encompassing only the selection cassette. Correct recombination was confirmed by Southern blot analysis (Fig. 1, H and I). To confirm correct mutation, the mutant and wild-type alleles were recloned by PCR and sequenced. Mutated clones of both types were injected into blastocysts, and germline transmission was obtained for both. The traits were bred to homozygosity, yielding the KVKΔtail and ΔM1M2 lines.

15. Mice were immunized subcutaneously (sc) with 20 μg of DNP12-OVA precipitated in alum with Bordetella pertussis. Fourteen and 42 days later, the mice received a booster immunization with 20 μg of DNP12-OVA sc and 20 μg of DNP12-OVA intraperitoneally (ip). Serum was taken at day 0 (d0), d7, d14, d21, d35, d42, and d49. Sera were pooled, and DNP-specific IgG1 and IgE antibodies were detected with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). IgE titers were established after depletion of the sera with ProteinG [M. C. Lamers and P. Yu, Immunol. Rev. 148, 71 (1995); P. Yu, M. Kosco-Vilbois, M. Richards, G. Köhler, M. C. Lamers, Nature 369, 753 (1994)]. For some, but not all data points, measurements of individual mice were made to validate the use of pooled sera. The measurements in individual sera were in full agreement with those obtained in pooled sera.

17. For a modified spot ELISA [J. D. Sedgwick and P. G. Holt, J. Exp. Med. 157, 2178 (1983)], microtiter plates were coated with rat monoclonal antibody (mAb) 84-1C to IgE and blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin. Serial dilutions of spleen cells were added to the wells in complete Iscove's medium and were cultured for 18 hours. Plates were washed and incubated with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated rat mAb EM95.3 to IgE. Spots were developed with the substrate BCIP (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-phosphate) in 0.6% low-melting agarose.
18. Eight-week-old mice were infested sc with 750 stage-3 larvae of N. brasiliensis (a gift of M. Kopf). Serum was taken before infestation (at d0) and at d7, d14, and d35. Mice received a second dose of 750 larvae at d77 and were bled at d77, d84, and d95. Total serum IgE, IgG1, and lgG2a were determined by ELISA.
