Strain Information
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) 22-AUG-06 Species laboratory mouse Generation N10+N1F7 (19-FEB-09) Donating Investigator Susumu Tonegawa, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Description
Mice homozygous for the transgenic insert are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These transgenic mice express the Cre recombinase under the control of the mouse calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha promoter. Cre recombinase expression is detected in the forebrain, specifically to the CA1 pyramidal cell layer in the hippocampus. When crossed with a strain containing loxP site flanked sequence of interest, Cre-mediated recombination occurs in the pyramidal cell layer.Development
A transgenic construct containing a 8.5 Kb sequence encoding the mouse calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha promoter, sequence encoding Cre recombinase, and SV40 polyadenylation site sequence was injected into fertilized BCF1 eggs. The resulting male transgenic mice were bred to C57BL/6 mice, and then backcrossed to C57BL/6 mice for 10 generations.

Gene & Allele Information
| Allele Symbol | Tg(Camk2a-cre)T29-1Stl | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion T29-1, Susumu Tonegawa | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Cre/Flp) | ||
| Common Name(s) | CaMKIIalpha-cre; Cre; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Susumu Tonegawa, Massachusetts Institute of Technology | ||
| Strain of Origin | (C57BL x BALB/c)F1 | ||
| Site of Expression | forebrain; pyramidal cell layer | ||
| 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. | |||

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
