Strain Information
Former Names STOCK TgN(hCMV-Cre)140Sau (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Mutant Stock; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Generation F?+3p
Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Dr. Brian Sauer, Stowers Institute for Medical Research Description
This strain contains a Cre recombinase gene under the control of a human cytomegalovirus minimal promoter. This promoter directs transcription such that Cre recombinase is expressed in all tissues.Development
These were made at DuPont in 1988 by pronuclear injection of zygotes from a cross of female C57BL/6NCrlBR x male DBA/2NCrlBR (ie hybrid BDF1 from Charles River). Male and female F1 progeny from the original founder were intercrossed for several generations, and a hemizygous transgenic was then outcrossed with FVB/N mice for several (~3) generations to produce a homozygous transgenic line. The original founder was Tg(O-Eco-Cre)DuPG140, founder #140. It carries the hCMV-cre expression cassette on a HindIII fragment from plasmid pBS185 (Sauer and Henderson, 1990)

Genes & Alleles
Gene & Allele Information provided by MGI
| Allele Symbol | Tg(hCMV-cre)140Sau | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion 140, Brian Sauer | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Cre/Flp) | ||
| Common Name(s) | hCMV-Cre; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Dr. Brian Sauer, Stowers Institute for Medical Research | ||
| Strain of Origin | C57BL/6NCrl x DBA/2NCrl | ||
| Site of Expression | widespread expression, including germline | ||
| Expressed Gene | cre, cre recombinase, bacteriophage P1 | ||
| Cre recombinase is an enzyme derived from the bacteriophage P1 that specifically recognizes loxP sites. Cre has been shown to effectively mediate the excision of DNA located between loxP sites. After the excision event, the DNA ends recombine leaving a single loxP site in place of the intervening sequence. | |||

| Gene Symbol and Name | Tg(hCMV-cre)140Sau, transgene insertion 140, Brian Sauer | ||
| Chromosome | UN | ||
| Gene Common Name(s) | hCMV-cre; | ||
| Driver Note | hCMV | ||
| Molecular Note | This transgene expresses Cre recombinase under the control of a human cytomegalovirus promoter/enhancer, active in most cells and tissues. [MGI Ref ID J:75205] | ||

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise
The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.Ordering Information
