Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Species laboratory mouse Generation ?pN1 Donating Investigator Jamey Marth, University of California at San Diego Description
Homozygous mice are viable and have no major defects. This transgenic strain expresses Cre recombinase in thymocytes at lower abundance than line 548-O (Stock No. 003802), resulting in sub-stoichiometric recombination and yielding chimeric cell populations in vivo. In contrast, Lck-Cre transgenic line 548-O recombines loxP-flanked alleles specifically in thymocytes at very high efficiency, up to 99+% as compared with other Lck-Cre transgenic lines.Development
The Cre coding sequence derived from pMC-Cre was cloned into p1017. The transgene was isolated from the plasmid and microinjected into the male pronuclei of B6CBAF2 hybrid zygotes prior to implantation into CD1 foster mothers. A founder expressing the transgene was backcrossed to C57BL/6 by the donating laboratory 9-12 times.

|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion I540, Jamey Marth | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Cre/Flp) | ||
| Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6 x CBA)F2 | ||
| 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 | Lck, lymphocyte protein tyrosine kinase, mouse, laboratory | ||
| Driver Note | Lck | ||
| Molecular Note | The Cre recombinase coding sequence, modified by addition of a Kozak consensus translation start sequence and nuclear localization signals, was inserted into the p1017 expression vector between the thymocyte-specific, mouse proximal Lck promoter and mostof the human growth hormone gene, extending from within exon 1 through the polyadenylation signal. Cre recombinase activity is restricted to thymocytes; evidence of activity in spleen is attributed to the presence of thymus-derived T lymphocytes. [MGI Ref ID J:67674] [MGI Ref ID J:81268] | ||
