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 Hemizygote x Inbred (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator IMR Colony, The Jackson Laboratory Generation N4 (08-JAN-08) Strain 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.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. This is the case for the strain above. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results become available.
Strain Development
A transgenic construct containing the cre recombinase gene under the control of the tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE or 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. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, these mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6J mice for at least 5 generations.

| Allele Name | transgene insertion 1, Jeffrey A Whitsett | ||
| Common Name(s) | (tetO)7-CMV-Cre; (tetO)7-CMV-Cretg; (tetO)7-Cre; (tetO)7CMVtg; TRECre; tetO-cre; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Andras Nagy, Mount Sinai Hospital | ||
| 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] | ||

Estimated Available for Sale Date: 18-AUG-08
Please note: Estimated available for sale dates are provided to keep customers better informed on strains under development. Please note that our Colony Managers routinely monitor the target date and edit it based on breeding performance and other factors. The length of time it takes to make a new strain available for sale depends on genotype, age, number of animals sent by the Donating Investigator, breeding performance, additional strain development (backcrossing, making homozygous), and anticipated demand for the strain/interest registered.

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
