Strain Information
Type Congenic; Major Histocompatibility Congenic; Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Species laboratory mouse Generation N16+?p+F0p+N1 Donating Investigator Dr. Mercedes Rincon, The University of Vermont Description
Hemizygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. The donating investigator reports that homozygous females in their colony are subfertile. These transgenic mice express luciferase under the regulation of the Il2 minimal promoter and 3 binding sites for the NFAT inducible nuclear factor involved in the regulation of interleukin-2 and other cytokine expression. Luciferase activity in these transgenic mice identifies NFAT-mediated transcription. These NFAT-luc transgenic mice may be useful be useful as reporters for NFAT-mediated expression during thymocyte development and selection and in studies related to signal transduction, apoptosis, and transcriptional regulation.Development
A targeting vector was designed with the firefly luciferase gene (luc) driven by ~ 150-bp of sequence from the interleukin-2 minimal promoter (nucleotides -326 to -294 and -72 to +47) with three NFAT-binding sites inserted between these fragments. This construct was microinjected into (C57BL6 x SJL)F2 embryos. Transgenic offspring (founder line 83) were crossed with "B10.BR/SgSnJ (H2-K)" (see Stock No. 000465) mice for more than 15 generations before arriving at The Jackson Laboratory.

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
