• Mutation: Insertion
• Tg(Lck-cre)3778Nik expression driven by 1 gene
  Transgene expression driven by:
  

  Organism	Driver Gene	Note
  Not Specified	Lck

• Mutation details: This transgene expresses the codon-improved cre recombinase (icre) open reading frame under the control of the distal Lck promoter (dLck). This transgene is expressed in T cells primarily after Tcra locus rearrangement and the cells have reached the TCR^hi stage of development. (J:73479, J:99042)
