Strain Details
Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Congenic Additional information on JAX® GEMM® Strains. Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Mutant Strain Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Transgenic Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Andras Nagy, Mount Sinai Hospital Generation ?+N5F4 (05-DEC-07) Strain 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 red fluorescent protein variant DsRed.MST under the control of the chicken beta actin promoter coupled with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early enhancer. All tissues of homozygotes fluoresce red. Mice hemizygous for the transgene express red fluorescent protein less intensely than homozygotes. Expression is observed throughout all embryonic and adult stages and very high expression is found in pancreas, skeletal muscle, heart and seminal vesicle.In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description as published results become available.
Strain Development
This strain is a derivative of Tg(ACTB-bgeo/DsRed.MST). A transgenic construct containing a Red Fluorescent Protein gene (DsRed.MST) under the control of the a chicken beta actin promoter coupled with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early enhancer upstream of a loxP site flanked beta-geo gene and polyadenylation sites, was introduced into 129S6B6F1 derived G4 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Then the expression of lacZ was replaced with red fluorescent protein following in vitro Cre recombination. ES cells containing the (ACTB-DsRed.MST) construct were aggregated with ICR outbred tetraploid embryos to generate chimeric mice. The resulting chimeric male animal was bred with an ICR outbred female. Progeny from this cross that were hemizygous for the transgene were bred to ICR outbred mice. The mice were then backcrossed to C57BL/6J for 5 generations. Of note, this "DsRed.MST" protein is erroneously designated "DsRed.T3" in the original publication.

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
