A loxP site was inserted upstream of exon D, and an FRT-flanked neo cassette with a 3' loxP site was inserted downstream of exon D. Flp-mediated recombination removed the neo cassette and left exon D floxed.

The promoter, exon 1 and exon 2 were floxed. Flp-mediated recombination removed the puromycin resistance cassette and left and FRT site upstream of the second loxP site in intron 2.

Exons 2 and 3 of the Cd79a gene were replaced with a cDNA encoding a mammalian codon-optimized cre (hCre) followed by an SV40 poly(A) signal. Exon 1 was truncated to remove the Cd79a ATG start codon, and a tk-neo cassette flanked by FRT sites was introduced 3' to hCre. The neo cassette was deleted in chimeras by crossing to Flpe deleter mice.
