Strain Information
Former Names B6;SJL-TgN(tetoplacZ)2Mam (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Mutant Stock; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Lothar Hennighausen, National Institutes of Health Description
B6;SJL-Tg(tetoplacZ)2Mam transgenic mice serve as reporter/tester mice for transgenic mice expressing the tetracycline-controlled transactivator proteins tTA or rtTA. This strain carries a beta-galactosidase (lacZ) reporter gene under the control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE; tetO), consisting of the human cytomegalovirus early promoter fused to tet operator sequences. When these mice are mated with transgenic mice expressing tTA or rtTA, lacZ transcription may be induced by the administration (or withdrawl, if tTA is used) of tetracycline, or its analog, doxycyline. Beta-galactosidase activity is not observed in the absence of tTA or rtTA transgene.Development
A transgenic construct containing a nuclear localization signal, the beta-galactosidase structural gene, an intron, and a poly(A) signal was injected into fertilized B6;SJL mouse eggs. Founder animals were obtained.

|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion 2, Lothar Hennighausen | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Reporter) | ||
| Common Name(s) | TetO-beta-gal; | ||
| Strain of Origin | involves: C57BL/6 * SJL | ||
| Site of Expression | When crossed with a strain expressing rTA or rtTA, expression of the transgene may be induced in the bitransgenic progeny by the administration or withdrawal of tetracycline or its analog, doxycycline. | ||

| Chromosome | UN | ||
| Gene Common Name(s) | TetO-beta-gal; | ||
| General Note |
Four lines were produced (G1-G4). In mice carrying both this transgene and a transgene expressing tTA or rtTA, lacZ transcription may be induced by the administration (or withdrawal, if tTA is used) of tetracycline, or its analog, doxycyline. No beta-galactosidase activity is observed in the absence of a tTA transgene. | ||
| Molecular Note | The construct contains a nuclear localization signal, the beta-galactosidase structural gene, an intron, and a poly(A) signal. Expression of beta-galactosidase is controlled by a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE) consisting of the human cytomegalovirus early promoter fused to tet operator sequences. No beta-galactosidase activity was observed in the absence of a tTA transgene. [MGI Ref ID J:92587] | ||

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 and Purchasing Information
