Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator David Schatz, Yale University School of Medicine, HHMI Description
Transgenic mice were produced by co-microinjection of modified tetracycline-controlled transactivator (tTA) and luciferase genes placed under the control of tetracycline-responsive promoter elements (TREs). Expression of tTA in transgenic mice is both inducible and autoregulatory; expression of the transgenes are suppressed in the presence of tetracycline and highly expressed in its absence. Induced transgene expression levels are higher than those achieved in strains utilizing a constitutive tTA system. Luciferase expression (in the absence of tetracycline) has been demonstrated in all organs examined - spleen, thymus, lung, liver, kidney, heart, cerebrum, cerebellum, lymph nodes, testes. High activity is found in thymus and lung; low expression is found in liver and kidney. Induction ranges from 2-fold in testes to 150-fold in thymus. The founder line of this strain is #17, as reported in the primary reference. Homozygous mice are viable and fertile.Development
(C57BL/6 x C3H) F1 hybrid fertilized embryos were co-microinjected with DNA constructs that direct the expression of the tetracycline-controlled transactivator (tTA) and luciferase genes under the control of tetracycline-responsive promoter elements (TREs). The strain corresponds to founder line #17 described in the primary reference.Following the strains arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, it was backcrossed for three generations to C57BL/6 before being intercrossed to produce homozygotes. In 2004, transgenic mice recovered from cryopreservation were outcrossed for two generations to B6C3F1/J (Stock No. 100010) before being re-bred to homozygosity.

| The tetracycline-resistance gene (TetR), arose from chemically mutated Escherichia coli genome which was screened for tetracycline dependence (Gossen and Bujard, 1992). TetR was fused at the C-terminus with the viral co-activator, virion protein 16 of the herpes simplex virus (VP-16). The tetracycline-inhibitable transcription factor is a component of a bigenic system that allows doxycycline (a tetracycline analog) regulatable expression of genes that are under the direction of the tetracycline responsive promoter (TetOp)promoter. | |||

| General Note | This line was generated from founder #17. Homozygous transgenic mice are viable and fertile. Expression of tTA in transgenic mice is both inducible and autoregulatory; expression of the transgenes are suppressed in the presence of tetracycline and highlyexpressed in its absence. Levels of induced transgene expression in these mice are higher than those achieved in mice carrying a transgene that utilizes a constitutive tTA system. Luciferase (in the absence of tetracycline) is expressed in spleen, thymus, lung, liver, kidney, heart, cerebrum, cerebellum, lymph nodes, and testes. High activity is found in thymus and lung; low expression is found in liver and kidney. Induction ranges from 2-fold in testes to 150-fold in thymus. | ||
