Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator William Kaelin, Dana Farber Cancer Institute Description
These mice contain the firefly luciferase (luc) gene inserted into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. Expression of the luciferase gene is blocked by a loxP-flanked STOP fragment placed between the luc sequence and the Gt(ROSA)26Sor promoter. This strain serves as a Cre reporter strain. When used in conjunction with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, successful Cre-mediated excision is indicated by luciferase expression in Cre-expressing tissues. Mice that are heterozygous for the transgenic insert are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities.Development
A targeting vector containing a PGK-neo cassette and a loxP-stop-loxP cassette upstream of the firefly luciferase (luc) gene was inserted into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. The construct was introduced into 129S6/SvEvTac-derived TC-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were bred to FVB mice and backcrossed for 4 generations on the FVB background.

| Site of Expression | when crossed to a cre recombinase-expressing strain, luciferase expression is observed in the cre-expressing tissues | ||
| Expressed Gene | luc, luciferase, firefly | ||
| Molecular Note | The endogenous locus is interrupted by a construct comprising a loxP site, a neomycin resistance cassette with a strong, triple SV40 polyadenylation signal, and a second loxP site in the same orientation as the first followed by the cDNA sequence encoding firefly luciferase and the bovine growth hormone polyadenylation signal. In cells in which Cre recombinase is expressed, the DNA between the loxP sites is excised, along with one loxP site, permitting expression of the luciferase gene under control of the ubiquitous ROSA26 promoter.
