Fap-P2A-iCre Mice

Catalog Number: C001657

Strain Name: C57BL/6JCya-Fapem1(P2A-iCre)/Cya

Genetic Background: C57BL/6JCya

Examples of Expressing Tissues/Cells: Fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and Fab-positive cells

 

Strain Description

The TGA stop codon was replaced with the "P2A-iCre-WPRE-BGH pA" cassette. Cre recombinase is expressed under the regulatory control of Fap gene elements, without impacting the endogenous expression of the Fap gene.


Announcement

The insertion site of the Cre recombinase gene expression cassette in this strain is located on chromosome 2. Please avoid breeding with gene-edited mice targeting genes on the same chromosome as the Cre mouse when conducting mating.
