Strain Information
Type Coisogenic; Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Mating System Inbred x Hemizygote (Female x Male) 01-MAR-06 Species laboratory mouse Generation N24 (22-JAN-09) Donating Investigator Albee Messing, University of Wisconsin-Madison Appearance
albino
Related Genotype: Tyrc/TyrcImportant Note
This strain is homozygous for the retinal degeneration allele Pde6brd1.Description
Transgenic mice overexpress Green Fluorescent Protein under the control of the astrocyte-specific glial fibrillary acidic protein promoter. Bright fluorescence is observed in the cell bodies and processes of unfixed or fixed astrocyte preparations throughout the CNS of hemizygous mice. In addition retinal Mullers cells expressed the GFP transgene in response to degeneration of neighboring photoreceptors. These mice provide a method to follow changes in astrocyte morphology during development or disease processes.Development
Transgenic mice express a mutant form of GFP (hGFP-S65T) under the control of the human astrocyte-specific glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter.

| Allele Name | transgene insertion 14, Albee Messing | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Reporter) | ||
| Common Name(s) | GFAP::GFP; | ||

| Strain of Origin | FVB/N | ||
| Site of Expression | Bright fluorescence is observed in the cell bodies and processes of unfixed or fixed astrocyte preparations throughout the CNS of hemizygous mice. In addition, retinal Muller cells expressed the GFP transgene in response to degeneration of neighboring photoreceptors. | ||
| Expressed Gene | GFP, Green Fluorescent Protein, jellyfish | ||
| Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, is a versatile reporter molecule which has found use in many biological applications. In some constructs the original molecule has been modified in order to enhance its fluorescence intensity (EGFP, enhanced GFP). When utilized in a transgenic construct, tissue expressing sufficient amounts of GFP will fluoresce when exposed to a 488 nm light source. | |||

Supply Details
| Standard Supply | Repository-Live. A collection of over 1000 strains maintained as live colonies. Individual colonies are sized to meet current customer demand. Delivery for orders of 10 mice or less ranges on average from one to eight weeks; mice are generally shipped between four to six weeks of age with a maximum shipping age of approximately nine weeks. Colony sizes do not generally support stringent age specifications for large volumes of mice; however custom orders and larger quantities of mice are easily arranged. Estimated ship dates for all orders provided within two business days following order placement. |

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
