Former Names FVB.Cg-Tg(tetO-cre)1Jaw/J (Changed: 21-MAR-08 ) Type Congenic; Mutant Stock; Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Mating System +/+ sibling x Hemizygote (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Generation N10+N2F3 (04-SEP-08) Donating Investigator Jeffrey Whitsett, Children's Hospital Medical Center Description
Hemizygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These transgenic mice express Cre recombinase under the control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE; tetO). When hemizygotes are bred with another transgenic mouse expressing either reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (rtTA) or tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (tTA) under the control of tissue-specific promoters, Cre recombinase expression and Cre-mediated recombination in the appropriate tissues of the bitransgenic offspring, can be regulated with the tetracycline analog, doxycycline. This strain represents an effective tool for generating inducible, tissue-specific-targeted mutants to study cell lineage during development.Importation of this model was supported by the Boomer Esiason Foundation.
Development
A transgenic construct containing the Cre recombinase gene under the control of the tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE; tetO), minimal CMV promoter and MT-1 polyadenylation site sequence was injected into mixed C57BL/6 and 129 background embryos. Founder mice were bred to FVB/N animals. A 27 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis revealed that this strain is on a mixed STOCK background.

| Strain of Origin | 129 and C57BL/6 | ||
| Site of Expression | widespread, inducible expression of Cre recombinase | ||
| 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. | |||
| Promoter | tetO, tet operator, | ||
| Molecular Note | The transgene is composed of 7 tetO sites, a minimal CMV promoter, and sequence encoding cre recombinase. [MGI Ref ID J:78365] | ||
