Strain of Origin:  (C57BL/6 x CBA)F2 or (C57BL/6 x 129)F2
Transgene
description
Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Recombinase)
Mutation:    Insertion
 
Tg(Tyr-cre)1Gfk expression driven by 1 gene
 
Mutation detailsThese transgenes express cre under the control of the tyrosinase promoter. Three lines were reported. Lines 1 and 2 include the full enhancer in addition to the promoter. Line 3 lacks the enhancer. Lines 1 and 2 express cre in neural crest derived regions as well as in melanoblasts. (J:87271)
