Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Mating System +/+ sibling x Hemizygote (Female x Male) 26-APR-08 Species laboratory mouse Generation N10+N2F10 (29-JUN-11)
Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Klaus Rajewsky, Max-Delbruck-Ctr. for Molecular Medicine Description
Mice homozygous for this "CD21-cre3a" transgene 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 the mouse complement receptor 2 (CR2) promoter. Cre recombinase expression is detected specifically in mature transitional B cells. When CD21-cre3a mice were crossed to a lacZ-expressing Cre reporter strain, Cre recombinase activity is detected in 65-70% of mature B cells (as determined by FACS analysis of bone marrow cells). When crossed with a strain containing loxP site flanked sequence of interest, Cre-mediated recombination results in deletion of the targeted gene in mature B lymphocytes and follicular dendritic cells. This strain represents an effective tool for generating tissue specific-targeted mutants that would be useful to study B lymphocyte development.Development
A transgenic construct containing sequence encoding Cre recombinase under the control of the mouse complement receptor 2 (CR2) promoter was microinjected into donor eggs of unknown genetic background. Founder line 3 was established and backcrossed to the C57BL/6 background for 10 generations. These "CD21-cre3a" mice were made homozygous prior to arrival at The Jackson Laboratory.

Gene & Allele Information provided by MGI
| Allele Symbol | Tg(Cr2-cre)3Cgn | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion 3, University of Cologne | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Cre/Flp) | ||
| Common Name(s) | CD21-cre; CD21-cre3a; Cr2tm1(cre)Cgn; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Marat Alimzhanov, CBR Institute for Biomedical Research | ||
| Site of Expression | mature transitional B cells | ||
| 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 | Cr2, complement receptor 2, mouse, laboratory | ||
| Driver Note | Cr2 | ||
| Molecular Note | This transgene consists of a cre expression cassette including a Kozak sequence, nuclear localization signal, and bovine growth hormone polyadenylation signal inserted into a BAC containing the Cr2 locus. The ATG in the first exon of Cr2 is also mutatedin this allele. Cre mediated recombination is detected in 60% - 80% of mature B cells and is undetectable in pro/pre-B and immature B cells.

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 Information
