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 Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator IMR Colony, The Jackson Laboratory Generation N6F14 (06-DEC-07) Strain Description
Mice that are hemizygous for the transgenic insert are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. All tissues from hemizygous animals display fluorescence in all cell types under appropriate lighting conditions. Notable exceptions to this phenotype are erythrocytes and adipocytes in which fluorescence is negligible or absent.In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results become available.
Strain Development
A transgenic construct containing an Enhanced Cyan Fluorescent Protein gene (Clontech) under the control of the a chicken beta actin promoter coupled with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early enhancer, was introduced into (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. ES cells containing the construct were aggregated with ICR morulae and the resulting chimeric males were bred with ICR females for germline transmission. The transgenic offspring were intercrossed to generate homozygotes. Mice derived from founder line CK6/ECFP were sent to The Jackson Laboratory in 2000 and used to establish the colony on a mixed genetic background (see Stock No. 003773). From there, some mice were then backcrossed for more than 5 generations to C57BL/6J mice to establish this congenic strain.

| Site of Expression | All tissues from hemizygous animals display fluorescence in all cell types under appropriate lighting conditions. Notable exceptions to this phenotype are erythrocytes and adipocytes, in which fluorescence is negligible or absent. | ||
| Expressed Gene | CFP, Cyan Fluorescent Protein, jellyfish | ||
| Cyan Fluorescent Protein (CFP) 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 CFP is utilized in a transgenic construct, tissue expressing sufficient amounts of CFP will fluoresce cyan when exposed to a 433 nm light source. | |||
| Promoter | ACTB, actin, beta, chicken | ||
| General Note | Hemizygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. All tissues from these animals display fluorescence in all cell types under appropriate lighting conditions, except in erythrocytes and adipocytes where fluorescence is negligible or absent. | ||
| Molecular Note | The transgene construct contains an Enhanced Cyan Fluorescent Protein gene under the control of the a chicken beta actin promoter coupled with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early enhancer. Cyan Fluorescent Protein (CFP) is a derivative of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). R1 ES cells were used to introduce the transgene. [J:93696] | ||

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
