Abstract: Purpose and Methods : The ob gene point mutant in C57BL/ 6J ob mice cause genetic obesity in all life. To improve the speed and efficiency of ob genotyping , we developed a method with PCR and rest riction endonuclease by property primer. Results and Conclusion : Three genotype (ob/ ob , ob/ + , + / + ) of the mouse are rapidly , differetiated with this assay. Since only a small biopsy specimen ( tail end) is needed to genotype ,the ob mouse at any age is typable and can be used in subsequent breeding or research.

Key words: ob mice genotype, PCR, rest riction endonuclease
