| This strain expresses Cre recombinase from the targeted Alpl (alkaline phosphatase, liver/bone/kidney) locus. When crossed with a strain containing loxP site flanked sequence, Cre-mediated recombination results in tissue-specific deletion of the flanked sequence, primarily in embryonic primordial germ cells. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies of reproductive and endocrine systems development. | |||||||||||||||

Strain Information
Type Coisogenic; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Mating System +/+ sibling x Heterozygote (Female x Male) 20-JAN-09 Species laboratory mouse Generation N1+F2 (05-NOV-09) Donating Investigator Andras Nagy, Mount Sinai Hospital Description
This strain expresses Cre recombinase from the targeted locus. When crossed with a strain containing loxP site flanked sequence, Cre-mediated recombination results in tissue-specific deletion of the flanked sequence. Recombination occurs primarily in embryonic primordial germ cells. Approximately 60% of gonadal cells isolated from embryonic day 13.5 embryos exhibit Cre recombinase activity. Mosaic ectopic recombinase activity does occur. Homozygotes are not viable. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies of reproductive and endocrine systems development.Development
A targeting vector containing cre coding sequence, IRES sequence and a neomycin resistance gene was inserted into exon 6 the targeted gene. The construct was electroporated into (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl+ derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were aggregated with ICR embryos and the resulting chimeric males were crossed to ICR females to test for germline transmission, after that identified chimeras-transmitters were crossed to 129S1 females to establish the line on 129 background. The strain was maintained by the donating investigator by crossing heterozygote males to 129S1 females. After arriving at The Jackson Laboratory the mice were crossed to 129S1/SvImJ.

| Site of Expression | embryonic primordial germ cells | ||
| 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. | |||

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
