| These animals express the mouse Clock gene under the control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE; tetO). When hemizygotes are bred with another transgenic mouse expressing reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (rtTA) or tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (tTA) under the regulation of tissue-specific promoters, transgene expression can be conditionally regulated in the appropriate tissue of the bitransgenic offspring with the tetracycline analog, doxycycline.

Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Dr. Joseph S. Takahashi, Univ Texas Southwestern Medical Ctr Description
Homozygous transgenic mice are viable and fertile. These animals express the wildtype Clock gene under the control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE; tetO). When hemizygotes are bred with another transgenic mouse expressing reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (rtTA) or tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (tTA) under the regulation of tissue-specific promoters, transgene expression can be conditionally regulated in the appropriate tissue of the bitransgenic offspring with the tetracycline analog, doxycycline. Transgenic expression of the Clock gene in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and brain of mice regulates the period length of circadian locomotor rhythms. This wild-type transgene shortens the period of circadian locomotor rhythms in mice, whereas overexpression of the Clockdelta19 mutant transgene (Stock No. 008277) lengthens the period. These effects can be inhibited by low doses of doxycyline in the drinking water. The effects of low, but not high, doses of doxycyline are completely reversible and lead to a rapid reactivation of the transgene.When bred to a strain expressing tTA in brain (see Stock No. 008284 for example), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of circadian behavior.
Development
A transgenic vector was designed to carry this full-length wildtype mouse gene downstream of a tetracycline-responsive promoter (TRE; tetO). The vector was introduced to fertilized C57BL/6 oocytes. Transgene positive founders (line iso) were maintained on a C57BL/6 background by the donating laboratory.

Progeny testing is not required.
The average number of mice provided from recovery of our cryopreserved strains is 10. The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. We will fulfill your order by providing at least two pair of mice, at least one animal of each pair carrying the mutation of interest. Please inquire if larger numbers of animals with specific genotype and genders are needed. Animals typically ship between 11 and 14 weeks from the date of your order. If a second cryorecovery is needed in order to provide the minimum number of animals, animals will ship within 25 weeks. IMPORTANT NOTE: The genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation, or that discussed in the strain description. Please inquire about possible genotypes which will be recovered for this specific strain. The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice
