• Mutation: Insertion
• Tg(Gfap-Ifna1)39Ilc expresses 1 gene
  Transgene expresses:
  

  Organism	Expressed Gene	Note
  mouse	Ifna1 (MGI:107668)

• Mutation details: A Gfap promoter and mouse Ifna1 cDNA sequence cloned between an upstream SV40 intron and downstream SV40 polyadenylation signal was used for the transgene. The GFAP promoter directs transgene expression in the astrocytes. Transgene expression in the brain was confirmed by RNase protection assay. (J:68811)
