Strain Information
Former Names FVB/N-Tg(teto-Kras2)12Hev (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Dr. Harold E. Varmus, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Description
Mice that are homozygous for the transgene are viable and fertile. These transgenic mice express activated rat Kras (Kras4bG12D) under the regulation of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE; tetO). When these mice are mated to strains containing transgenes encoding either rtTA (reverse tetracycline trans-activator protein) or tTA (the tetracycline trans-activator), activated Kras expression in the bitransgenic animals can be induced by administration or withdrawl, respectively, of the tetracycline analog, doxycycline. This strain represents an effective tool for generating tissue specific mutants that would be useful models for studying oncogene activation in human carcinogenesis.Development
A transgenic construct containing the mutant gene (Kras4bG12D) under the regulation of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE; tetO), the mp-1 intron and polyadenylation site sequence, and a minimal CMV promoter was injected into FVB/N blastocysts.

| General Note | Homozygous transgenic mice are viable and fertile. In conjunction with a second transgene encoding either rtTA (reverse tetracycline trans-activator protein) or tTA (the tetracycline trans-activator), mice carrying Tg(tetO-Kras2)12Hev show tissue-specific expression of the mutated K-ras transgene that may be induced or suppressed by administration of the tetracycline analog, doxycycline. Cessation or initiation of doxycycline treatment in bitransgenic strains containing, respectively, rtTA or tTA, will result in a rapid decrease of expression of the transgene. | ||
| Molecular Note | The transgene expresses the mutant gene Kras4bG12D, under the control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (tTA), mp-1 intron polyadenylation site sequence, and a minimal CMV promoter. [MGI Ref ID J:73468] | ||

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 Information
