Strain Information
Former Names B6.129-Tg(Pcp2-Cre)2Mpin (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Congenic; Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 01-MAR-06 Species laboratory mouse Generation N4+6F13 (08-JAN-08) Donating Investigator Michael Meyer, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich Description
These transgenic mice express a cre gene inserted into exon 4 of a Pcp2 gene. Mice homozygous for the insert are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Recombinase activity is observed in most Purkinje cells and some retinal bipolar neurons. Small amounts of activity are observed in an unidentified population of cells of the central nervous system tissue. Recombination is first observed around postnatal day 6 and is fully established 2 to 3 weeks after birth.View cre expression characterization.

|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion 2, Max-Planck-Institute of Neurobiology | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Cre/Flp) | ||
| Common Name(s) | L7-cre; L7Cre-2; pcp2Cre-2; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Michael Meyer, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich | ||
| Strain of Origin | (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl<+> | ||
| Site of Expression | most Purkinje cells and some retinal bipolar neurons; small amounts of activity are observed in an unidentified population of cells of the central nervous system tissue; recombination is first observed around postnatal day 6 and is fully established 2 to 3 weeks after birth | ||
| 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. | |||

| Molecular Note | These transgenic mice express Cre recombinase under the direction of the Purkinje cell-specific L7/Pcp2 promoter. Recombinase activity is observed in most Purkinje cells and some retinal bipolar neurons. Small amounts of activity are observed in an unidentified population of cells of the central nervous system tissue. Recombination is first observed around postnatal day 6 and is fully established 2 to 3 weeks after birth. [MGI Ref ID J:66884] | ||

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
