Retnlg-P2A-DTR-EGFP Mice

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.
