Product Information
Strain Details
Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Mutant Strain Additional information on JAX® GEMM® Strains. Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Transgenic Species laboratory mouse H2 Haplotype g7 Generation F15pN1 Strain Description
This transgenic strain uses the rat insulin 2 promoter to drive expression of Cre recombinase in pancreatic beta cells. Hemizygous mice develop a diabetes that is characteristic of the NOD/ShiLt inbred strain. The investigator reports that insulin expression appears to be moderately suppressed.Strain Development
A transgenic construct containing the rat insulin 2 promoter and cre coding sequence was injected into fertilized NOD/ShiLt mouse eggs. The strain was developed in the laboratory of Dr. Ed Leiter at The Jackson Laboratory.

Gene & Allele Details
| Allele Symbol | Tg(Ins2-cre)3Lt | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion 3, Edward Leiter | ||
| Common Name(s) | RIP-cre, line 3; RIPCre3; line 3; | ||
| Strain of Origin | NOD/ShiLt | ||
| Site of Expression | pancreatic beta cells | ||
| 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. | |||
| Promoter | Ins2, insulin 2, rat | ||
| Molecular Note | A construct with the rat insulin II promoter driving cre recombinase was injected into fertilized NOD/ShiLt embryos. Line 3 was established by mating to NOD/ShiLt mice prior to sibling mating. Mice overexpress Cre specifically in pancreatic beta cells. [MGI Ref ID J:124297] | ||

| Supply Notes |
Cryorecovery - Standard. The recovery process begins when a signed agreement form is returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Although results vary by strain, at least two males and two females (two pairs) will be provided, typically within 15 weeks of our receipt of the signed agreement form. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful or only one pair is recovered, a second recovery will be done, extending the delivery time to approximately 25 weeks. At least one member of each pair will be of known genotype and will carry the mutation if it is a mutant strain. Please note that pairs may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation of the strain. Mating schemes are sometimes modified for successful cryopreservation. Price represents a repository maintenance fee, which includes the cost of recovery of the strain from the cryopreservation resource and the periodic replacement of the frozen embryos used for recovery. Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice. |

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
