Catalog Number: C001672
Strain Name: C57BL/6JCya-Retnlgem1(P2A-DTR-EGFP)/Cya
Genetic Background: C57BL/6JCya
Examples of Expressing Tissues/Cells: Fat, macrophages, liver, intestine, and Retnlg-positive cells
Strain Description
The TAA stop codon was replaced with "P2A-DTR-EGFP" cassette. DTR (Diphtheria Toxin Receptor) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) are expressed under the regulatory control of Retnlg gene elements, without impacting the endogenous expression of the Retnlg gene. This model enables EGFP fluorescence protein tracing studies.
Announcement
The insertion site of the EGFP gene expression cassette in this strain is located on chromosome 16. Please avoid breeding with gene-edited mice targeting genes on the same chromosome as the EGFP mouse when conducting mating.
