Strain Information
Former Names B6129-Tg(MMTV-cre)4Mam/J (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) B6129-TgN(MMTV-Cre)4Mam (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Mutant Stock; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 01-MAR-06 Species laboratory mouse Generation G3+3F18 (08-JAN-08) Donating Investigator Lothar Hennighausen, National Institutes of Health Description
This transgenic strain expresses P1 Cre recombinase under the control of the MMTV LTR promoter. The MMTV LTR promoter directs a widespread pattern of expression. High levels of recombination have been detected in the virgin and lactating mammary gland, salivary gland, seminal vesicle, skin, erythrocytes, B and T cells. Little background recombination was observed in the lung, kidney, liver and brain tissues (less than 10%). The donating investigator indicates that this strain may be suitable for use in applications where it is desirable to delete genes in the virgin and lactating mammary gland, skin, erythroid cells, and other secretory tissues and skin.Development
This strain originated on an FVB background, but has been backcrossed to B6129F1.

Gene & Allele Information
| Allele Symbol | Tg(MMTV-cre)4Mam | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion 4, Lothar Hennighausen | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Cre/Flp) | ||
| Common Name(s) | CreD; D-line; MMTV-Cre; MMTV-CreD; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Kay-Uwe Wagner, University of Nebraska Medical Center | ||
| Strain of Origin | FVB | ||
| Site of Expression | widespread pattern of expression including the female germline; high levels of recombination have been detected in the virgin and lactating mammary gland, salivary gland, seminal vesicle, and various cells of the immune system; little background recombination was observed in the lung, kidney, liver and brain tissues | ||
| 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 | MMTV, Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus, MMTV | ||

| Chromosome | UN | ||
| Gene Common Name(s) | CreD; D-line; MMTV-Cre; MMTV-CreD; | ||
| Driver Note | MMTV | ||
| General Note | This transgene is the D line. Line A (1) was also produced. | ||
| Molecular Note | This transgene directs the expression of Cre recombinase under the control of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) long terminal repeat. The viral MMTV promoter directed expression of Cre recombinase in the secretory epithelium of the mammary gland, thesalivary gland, seminal vesicle, skin, erythrocytes, B and T cells. This line does not express cre in oocytes. [MGI Ref ID J:67925] [MGI Ref ID J:74366] | ||

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
