Description
The genotypes of the animals provided may not reflect those discussed in the strain description or the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation. Please inquire for possible genotypes for this specific strain.
Strain Information
Type Mutant Stock; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Peter Mombaerts, Max Planck Institute of Biophysics Description
The coding region and part of the 3' non-translated region of the Omp gene was replaced by Cre. The targeted mutation results in a knockout. Mature olfactory sensory neurons express the Cre recombinase at high levels. Homozygous mice are subfertile.As an example, when crossed to a strain with widespread expression of GFP and a loxP-flanked Bgeo reporter (see Stock No. 004178), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in lineage tracing.
Development
The 129P2/OlaHsd derived E14 ES cell was used to generate this targeted mutation and the resulting mice were crossed to C57BL/6, and then intercrossed to homozygosity. The FRT-flanked neo cassette (FNF) is retained within this strain, and can be removed by flp-mediated recombination.The plasmid that was used to generate this mutation is banked and described at Addgene.

| Allele Name | targeted mutation 4, Peter Mombaerts | ||
| Allele Type | Targeted (knock-in) | ||
| Common Name(s) | OMP-Cre; | ||

| Site of Expression | mature olfactory sensory neurons | ||
| 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. | |||
| Driver Note | Omp | ||
| Molecular Note | Sequence encoding cre recombinase and a neomycin resistance cassette flanked by FRT sites was substituted in place of the Omp coding region. [MGI Ref ID J:115857] | ||

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
