Strain Information
Former Names B6129-TgN(WapCre)11738Mam (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Mating System +/+ sibling x Hemizygote (Female x Male) 09-MAY-08 Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Lothar Hennighausen, National Institutes of Health Description
This transgenic strain expresses P1 Cre recombinase under the control of the Wap (whey acidic protein) promoter. In mammary gland tissues, the Wap promoter directs expression to secretory epithelium. A maximum of Cre mediated recombination is achieved during pregnancy and lactation, but recombined cells are still present after involution and complete remodeling of the gland. Cre recombinase expression is not entirely restricted to mammary gland, however. A limited amount of Cre activity has been reported in brain tissue.Development
A transgenic construct containing the Wap promoter, Cre recombinase and beta-globin intronic sequence for poly A addition was injected into fertilized oocytes. Founder lines were subsequently established. This strain was generated on a B6SJLF1/J background. It was bred to FVB mice before being crossed to B6129F1 mice by the donating investigator.

Gene & Allele Information
| Allele Symbol | Tg(Wap-cre)11738Mam | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion 11738, Lothar Hennighausen | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Cre/Flp) | ||
| Common Name(s) | WAP-Cre; WC; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Kay-Uwe Wagner, University of Nebraska Medical Center | ||
| Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6 x SJL)F1 | ||
| Site of Expression | mammary gland tissues, specifically the secretory epithelium; not entirely restricted to mammary gland, a limited amount of cre activity has been reported in brain tissue | ||
| 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. | |||
| Promoter | Wap, whey acidic protein, mouse, laboratory | ||

| Chromosome | UN | ||
| Gene Common Name(s) | WAP-Cre; WC; | ||
| Driver Note | Wap | ||
| Molecular Note | This transgene directs the expression of Cre recombinase under the control of a 2.6 kb (EcoRI-Asp718) mouse whey acidic protein (Wap) promoter fragment. The Wap promoter directed expression of Cre recombinase in the mammary glands of late pregnant and lactating female mice. No expression was detected in mammary tissue of virgin mice.

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
