Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 22-AUG-06 Species laboratory mouse Generation N10+N1F13 (29-JUN-11)
Generation DefinitionsDonating 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.A 32 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 27 markers covering all 19 chromosomes and the X chromosome, as well as 5 markers that distinguish between the C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N substrains, was performed on the rederived living colony at The Jackson Laboratory Repository. While the 27 markers throughout the genome suggested a C57BL/6 genetic background, 4 of 5 markers that determine C57BL/6J from C57BL/6N were found to be segregating. These data suggest the mice sent to The Jackson Laboratory Repository were on a mixed C57BL/6J ; C57BL/6N genetic background.

| 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. | |||
