Strain Information
Type Coisogenic; Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Generation ?+N1p (12-FEB-06) Donating Investigator Katya Ravid, Boston University School of Medicine Description
Hemizygous and homozygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any behavioral abnormalities. Expression of the bicistronic transgene is directed by a tetracycline-responsive regulatory element (TRE; tetO). When transgenic mice are bred with another transgenic strain expressing the tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (tTA) under the regulation of a tissue-specific promoter, both aurora kinase B (Aurkb) and lacZ cistrons are inducibly expressed in the appropriate tissue in the bitransgenic offspring.This mouse was originally designed to be bred with Tg(Pf4-tTA)42Kra transgenic mice, which express tTA from a megakaryocyte-specific promoter. Megakaryocytes and platelet cells derived from the bitransgenic offspring show inducible and reversible beta-galactosidase expression. Further, megakaryocytes inducibly express Aurkb mRNA (but not protein) with a modest effect on megakaryocyte ploidy and no effect on platelet quantity. These double transgenic mice may be useful in studies of megakaryocyte/platelet lineage cell function, including migration following injury/insult and overexpression of thrombotic agents.
Development
A prokaryotic beta-galactosidase (lacZ) reporter gene under control of the tetracycline-response element (TRE; containing seven direct repeats of the tetracycline operator (tetO) sequence fused to a bidirectional cytomegalovirus (CMV) minimal promoter) was placed upstream of a rat Aurora-kinase B cDNA (with N-terminal FLAG-tag sequence and linked to the 3' end of the human beta-globin gene, including the 3' intron and poly A signal). The construct was injected into fertilized FVB/NJ embryos, which were then implanted into pseudopregnant foster mothers. Founder line 41 was obtained and bred to FVB/NJ mice for 3 generations. Transgenic mice were interbred for 5 generations.

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
