Strain Details
Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Congenic Additional information on JAX® GEMM® Strains. Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Mutant Strain Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Transgenic Mating System Noncarrier x Hemizygote (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Joshua Sanes, Harvard University Generation N5+N5F14N1F2 (04-DEC-07) Strain Description
These mice express spectral variants of GFP (yellow-YFP) at high levels in motor and sensory neurons, as well as in subsets of central neurons. Axons are brightly fluorescent all the way to the terminals. No expression is detectable in nonneural cells. The transgenic insert used to make this strain is identical to that used in the construction of Stock No. 003782. This line provides a strong and specific vital marker for axons; fluorescence is also stable to mild aldehyde fixation. Expression is strong from a mid-gestational stage into adulthood. Availability of multiple spectral variants is useful for double-labeling applications, or breeding to other CFP/GFP lines.Strain Development
A transgenic construct containing a YFP gene under the direction of regulatory elements derived from the mouse Thy1 gene was injected into fertilized B6CBAF1 mouse eggs. Regulatory elements are composed of a 6.5 kb fragment obtained from the 5' portion of the Thy1 gene, extending from the promoter to the intron following exon 4. Exon 3 and its flanking introns are absent. The deleted sequences are required for expression in non-neural cells but not in neurons. The remainder of the sequence is required for neuronal expression. Founder animals were obtained and crossed with wildtype C57BL/6J mice.

| Allele Name | transgene insertion 16, Joshua R Sanes | ||
| Common Name(s) | YFP; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Joshua Sanes, Harvard University | ||
| Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6 x CBA)F1 | ||
| Site of Expression | High levels of expression in motor and sensory neurons, as well as subsets of central neurons. Axons are brightly fluorescent all the way to the terminals. No expression is detectable in non-neural cells. | ||
| Expressed Gene | YFP, Yellow Fluorescent Protein, jellyfish | ||
| Yellow Fluorescent Protein (YFP) is a derivative of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), a versatile reporter molecule which has found use in many biological applications. The original molecule has been modified in order to enhance fluorescence intensity and shift the wavelength emitted when excited. When YFP is utilized in a transgenic construct, tissue expressing sufficient amounts of YFP will fluoresce yellowish-green when exposed to a 513 nm light source. | |||
| Promoter | Thy1, thymus cell antigen 1, theta, mouse, laboratory | ||
| General Note | Transgenic mice express spectral variants of GFP (yellow-YFP) at high levels in motor and sensory neurons, as well as in subsets of central neurons. Axons are brightly fluorescent all the way to the terminals. No expression is detectable in nonneural cells. Fluorescence is stable to mild aldehyde fixation. Expression is strong from a mid-gestational stage into adulthood. | ||
| Molecular Note | The transgene contains a YFP gene under the direction of regulatory elements derived from the mouse Thy1 gene. Regulatory elements are composed of a 6.5 kb fragment obtained from the 5' portion of the Thy1 gene, extending from the promoter to the intron following exon 4. Exon 3 and its flanking introns are absent. The same construct was used to generate Tg(Thy1-YFPH)2Jrs. [J:93699] | ||

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
