Transgene description

• Transgene Type: Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Tg(Gfap-Il6)G16Lms expresses 1 gene
  Transgene expresses:
  

  Organism	Expressed Gene	Note
  mouse	Il6 (MGI:96559)

• Mutation details: The Gfap promoter was used to drive cerebral expression of Il6. Several lines were created including lines G369, G16, and G167. G16 founder contains both the transgene and another transgene expressing lacZ under the control of Gfap whereas G26 and G36 founders do not. This line carried two copies of the IL-6 transgene.
