Species laboratory mouse Background Strain C57BL/6J Donor Strain C3H Donating Investigator Richard Day, University of Virginia Description
C57BL/6-TgN(c-fosLuc)1Rnd mice are viable and fertile. They carry a firefly luciferase reporter gene driven by the c-fos promoter. The luciferase transgene is expressed constitutively in all tissues of these mice, at the lowest levels in kidney, liver, lung, spleen, heart and various areas of the brain, and at the highest levels in skin and testis. Activation of the c-fos promoter in response to a wide range of stimuli results in increased luciferase expression. C57BL/6-TgN(c-fosLuc)1Rnd mice provide a unique system to monitor c-fos promoter activity in living tissue explant or dispersed cell cultures.

| General Note |
Transgenic mice on a genetic background that involves C57BL/6J and C3H are viable and fertile. The luciferase transgene is expressed constitutively in all tissues of these mice, at the lowest levels in kidney, liver, lung, spleen, heart and various areas of the brain, and at the highest levels in skin and testis. Activation of the Fos promoter in response to a wide range of stimuli results in increased luciferase expression. | ||
| Molecular Note | The transgene contains a firefly luciferase reporter gene driven by the Fos promoter. [MGI Ref ID J:93242] | ||
