Transgene
description
Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Inducible, Recombinase)
Inducer:    tamoxifen
Mutation:    Insertion
 
Tg(GFAP-cre/Esr1*,-lacZ)ASbk expression driven by 1 gene
 
Mutation detailsThis transgene consists of a 2.2 kb fragment of the human GFAP promoter, a cDNA encoding a fusion of cre and the mutated ligand binding domain of the human estrogen receptor, an IRES, cDNA encoding beta-galactosidase, and SV40 intronic sequence and polyadenylation signal. Transgene expression, assessed by beta-gal activity, is seen in Bergmann glia, neuronal precursors in the dentate gyrus, and cells in the subventricular zone surrounding the lateral ventricle. When crossed to reporter mice occasional tamoxifen-independent Cre mediated recombination is seen primarily in Bergmann glial cells. (J:140270)
