Mating System Noncarrier x Hemizygote (Female x Male) 21-APR-09 Species laboratory mouse Generation F?+ (20-APR-09) Donating Investigator Rong Wang, Univ of California Medical Center (UCSF) Description
These transgenic mice express the Cre recombinase under the control of the mouse Tek, endothelial-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (also known as Tie2), promoter. Cre recombinase expression is detected in most endothelial cells and blood islands of the extraembryonic mesoderm by embryonic day (ED)7.5 and in the dorsal aorta by ED8.5. Especially high levels of expression are seen in head vasculature by ED9. When crossed with reporter strains (expressing beta-galactosidase or alkaline phosphatase), recombination is detected in all blood vessels and some blood cells examined at ED11.5, which indicates that Cre activity occurs in early vascular progenitor cells, endothelial cells and some hematopoietic cells. Mice homozygous for the transgene are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. This strain represents an effective tool for generating endothelial cell specific-targeted conditional mutations.Development
A transgenic construct containing sequence encoding cre under the control of of the mouse Tek, endothelial-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (also known as Tie2), promoter was introduced into FVB/N donor eggs. Founder line 2352 was subsequently established.

| 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. | |||

| 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 approximately 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 two business days following order placement. |
