Strain Information
Type Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Generation N?+F2 Donating Investigator Steven Reeves, Massachusetts General Hospital Description
Mice that are hemizygous for this transgene are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These transgenic mice express the reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA) protein under the control of the rat nestin intron II enhancer/promoter. According to the donating investigator, expression occurs in the neuroepithelium of the developing nervous system (embryonic days 10-17), in some neuron subsets of the adult mouse (e.g. cerebellum, hippocampal dentate gyrus, subventricular zone, spinal cord) and in adult testes. The rtTA gene is cotranscribed with the lacZ reporter gene Bgeo, which allows verification of the site of rtTA expression. When Tg(Nes-rtTA) hemizygous mice are mated to a second transgenic strain carrying a gene of interest under the regulatory control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE; tetO), expression of the target gene may be regulated by the tetracycline analog, doxycycline (dox); in the presence of dox, transcription of the target gene is induced in cells where rtTA is expressed. This strain provides a tool that allows the inducible expression of genes in the central nervous system both during early developmental stages and in the adult.Development
A transgenic construct containing a rat nestin intron II enhancer/promoter, the reverse tetracycline regulatable transactivator protein (rtTA) gene, an IRES sequence and Bgeo gene was injected into FVB/N embryos. Founder mice were bred to FVB/N animals.

| Expressed Gene | rtTA, reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator, E. coli | ||
| The tetracycline repressor gene (Tetr), arose from chemically mutated Escherichia coli genome which was screened for tetracycline dependence (Gossen and Bujard, 1992). One mutant with a four amino acid residue change (rTetR) exhibited dependence on tetracycline for induction of the targeted gene and was used in the rtTA construct (Gossen et al, 1995). rTetr was fused at the C-terminus with the viral co-activator, virion protein 16 of the herpes simplex virus (VP-16). | |||

| General Note |
Hemizygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These mice express the rtTA transgene under the control of the rat nestin intron II enhancer/promoter.Expression occurs inthe neuroepithelium of the developing nervous system (embryonic days 10-17), in some neuron subsets of the adult mouse, for example, the cerebellum, hippocampal dentate gyrus, subventricular zone, spinal cord), and in adult testes. When Tg(Nes-rtTA)306Rvs hemizygous mice are mated to a second transgenic strain carrying a gene of interest under the regulatory control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE), expression of the target gene may be regulated by the tetracycline analog, doxycycline (dox). In the presence of dox, transcription of the target gene is induced in cells where rtTA is expressed. | ||
| Molecular Note | The transgene contains a rat nestin intron II enhancer/promoter, the reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (rtTA) gene, an IRES sequence, and a Beta-geo gene. [MGI Ref ID J:69630] | ||

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
