Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Mutant Strain Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Targeted Mutation Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Transgenic Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Manami Hara, University of Chicago Generation N10N1 (03-DEC-07) Strain Description
Mice hemizygous for this "MIP-GFP" transgene are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These transgenic mice express Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) under the control of the mouse insulin 1 promoter. Fluorescence is detected in tissues where insulin I is normally expressed; fluorescent protein expression in pancreatic beta-cells is evident from embryonic day (E)13.5 through adulthood. The fluorescence expression pattern is similar to the patterns seen in other stocks (see Stock No. 006784 and Stock No. 006866). MIP-GFP transgenic mice exhibit normal glucose tolerance and pancreatic insulin levels. The human growth hormone (hGH) sequence in the transgenic insert enhances expression of the EGFP, but hGH is not expressed. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of diabetes and pancreatic beta islet cell biology.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. 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 coding region of the EGFP gene and a 2.1kb sequence of the human growth hormone to confer high expression of the EGFP under the control of the mouse insulin 1 gene promoter was injected into fertilized CD1 mouse eggs. Founder line 1 was subsequently established. The transgenic mice were then backcrossed to C57BL/6 for 10 generations.

| Expressed Gene | GFP, Green Fluorescent Protein, jellyfish | ||
| Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, is a versatile reporter molecule which has found use in many biological applications. In some constructs the original molecule has been modified in order to enhance its fluorescence intensity (EGFP, enhanced GFP). When utilized in a transgenic construct, tissue expressing sufficient amounts of GFP will fluoresce when exposed to a 488 nm light source. | |||
| Promoter | Ins1, insulin I, mouse, laboratory | ||
| Molecular Note | A transgenic construct containing the coding region of the EGFP gene and a 2.1kb sequence of the human growth hormone to confer high expression of the EGFP, under the control of the mouse insulin 1 gene promoter (a 8.5 kb region including -8.5 to +12 bp relative to the transcriptional start site) was injected into fertilized CD1 mouse eggs. Founder line 1 was subsequently established. Fluorescence is detected in tissues where insulin I is normally expressed; fluorescent protein expression in pancreatic beta-cells is evident from embryonic day (E)13.5 through adult.

Supply Details
| Standard Supply | Repository-Live. A collection of over 1000 strains maintained as live colonies. Individual colonies are sized to meet current customer demand. Delivery for orders of 10 mice or less ranges on average from one to eight weeks; mice are generally shipped between four to six weeks of age with a maximum shipping age of ~nine weeks. Colony sizes do not generally support stringent age specifications for large volumes of mice; however custom orders and larger quantities of mice are easily arranged. Estimated ship dates for all orders provided within 48 hours of order placement. |

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
